Phase composition was analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD). Surface morphology and elemental composition were analyzed by using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) in conjunction with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX). Porosity and microstructural integrity were also examined.\u00a0\nResults: ATR-FTIR spectra showed peaks corresponding to characteristic functional groups of carbonates (CO32-) and phosphate (PO43-), affirming the incorporation of nano-CHAp chemically. XRD patterns affirmed the preservation of key hydration phases such as portlandite, tricalcium silicate, calcite, and bismuth oxide, with new calcium phosphate phases due to inclusion of nano-CHAp. FESEM images showed more dense microstructure with reduced porosity and reformed particle packing. EDX analysis showed the inclusion of phosphorus and notable increases in calcium and carbon content, corresponding with nano-CHAp inclusion. The modified MTA angelus preserves primary hydration pathways while having enhanced biofunctional availability of ions and surface morphology.\u00a0\nConclusion: Introduction of nano carbonated hydroxyapatite (nCHAp) brought about discernible changes in the composition of the cement matrix through the phase specific characteristics of XRD, ATR-FTIR, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). These structural changes may create compositional environments that would support the development of mineral-related phases, but it would require further, more specific studies than the current one to confirm biological or clinical outcomes.\u00a0<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2340\/biid.v12.45065","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,17]],"date-time":"2025-12-17T12:12:10Z","timestamp":1765973530000},"page":"216-225","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Advanced structural and compositional profiling of mineral trioxide aggregate incorporated with nano-carbonated hydroxyapatite: a comprehensive X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray investigation"],"prefix":"10.2340","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Njwan Fadhel","family":"Shehab","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nadia Hameed","family":"Hasan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alaa Edrees","family":"Dawood","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nawal Atiya","family":"Khalaf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1183","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"136005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Mestry SU, Kalmegh S, Mhaske S.
