In this paper we present a synthesis method for obtaining hydroxyapatite nanopowders by chemical precipitation. As the starting reagents, analytical grade Ca(OH)2, H3PO4 and NH4OH were used. The proposed method led to obtaining a hydroxyapatite with a high degree of crystallinity and purity. The synthesized samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformed-infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques.
