It was studied by Rietveld refinement and electron diffraction structural behavior of hydroxyapatite nano-particles, synthesized by chemical precipitation under normal temperature and pressure. Rietveld refinement using the data applied to XRD structural parameters of the nano-particles, its crystal size and the crystalline phases were obtained. Electron diffraction semi spherical and slightly elongated morphology, defined in relation to time and aging temperature used in the synthesis, distinguishing normal hexagonal prism morphology observed in natural hydroxyapatite crystals micrometer size was observed.
