Polyphosphates in Bone Therapy and Stomathology

In view of the fact that PolyP is probably involved in the regulation of phosphate metabolism in bone tissues (Schroder et al, 1999 2000), attempts were made to prove the potential therapeutic uses of PolyPs in the treatment of some bone diseases. 

The dissolving action of sodium PolyP3, cyclic trisodium phosphate and sodium PolyP on synthetic crystals of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate, and on crystalline aggregates of menisci from patients with chondrocalcinosis, was determined (Cini et al, 2001). The
