In order to perform new dental implant, we carried out investigations on α-alumina and calcium phosphate based composites. α-Alumina nano-powder were synthesized using reverse micelle method while calcium phosphate nano-powders with different molar ratio starting from 1.8 to 1.1 were synthesized by precipitation method, using calcium nitrate (Ca(NO3)2.4H2O) and ammonium hydrogen orthophosphate (NH4H2PO4) as precursor materials as source for calcium (Ca²+) and phosphate ((PO4)3-) ions respectively. Samples of respectively 5, 10 and 20% weight of Calcium phosphate powder were mixed with alumina, consolidated and sintered at 1400°C for 4 hours. The synthesized composites, in form of pellets were characterized for bulk density, apparent porosity, hardness and flexural strength properties.
