牙釉质、牙本质、牙骨质和骨中的生物磷灰石是具有高度组织依赖性的高度个体化的羟基磷灰石。通常，生物磷灰石的标准和平均教科书值并不适用于实际受试者，研究者之间的分析结果也各不相同。特别是，术语生物磷灰石经常混淆和不正确地用于描述碳酸盐磷灰石。这次审查的目的是防止进一步的混乱。我们认为，磷灰石应该很好地理解跨学科和术语明确定义。根据国际矿物学协会新矿物命名和分类委员会的定义，由生物体形成的生物磷灰石是羟基磷灰石的一种。更具体地说，它是碳酸化的羟基磷灰石，这与经常被错误命名的碳酸磷灰石完全不同。我们希望这一定义将被广泛采用，以消除许多研究和应用领域中磷灰石命名的混乱。
Biological apatite in enamel, dentin, cementum, and bone is highly individualized hydroxyapatite with high tissue dependency. Often, standard and average textbook values for biological apatite do not apply to actual subjects, and the reported results of analyses differ among investigators. In particular, the term biological apatite is often confusingly and incorrectly used to describe carbonate apatite. The purpose of this review is to prevent further confusion. We believe that apatite should be well understood across disciplines and the terminology clearly defined. According to a definition by the International Mineralogical Association's Commission on New Minerals Nomenclature and Classification, biological apatite formed by living organisms is a type of hydroxyapatite. More specifically, it is carbonated hydroxyapatite, which is quite different from frequently misnamed carbonate apatite. We hope that this definition will be widely adopted to remove confusion around the naming of apatite in many research and applied fields.
