Stannous and fluoride ions affected the rate of crystal growth of calcium phosphate from stable, supersaturated solutions inoculated with pure synthetic hydroxyapatite seed. Stannous ions appeared to inhibit the growth by a simple adsorption process; the effect of fluoride ions was much more difficult to interpret.
