Table 1 Volume percentages of cuspidine, xonotlite, wollastonite and apatite present in the GC before immersion (not considering the residual glassy matrix), calculated by full pattern refinement.

From: Bioactive glass–ceramics containing fluorapatite, xonotlite, cuspidine and wollastonite form apatite faster than their corresponding glasses
