<p num="1"><br/><br/><br/>Methods are provided for producing compositions, e.g. pastes or clays, which <br/>rapidly set into high-strength calcium phosphate products. In the subject <br/>methods, dry reactants that include calcium and phosphate sources, as well as <br/>a monovalent cation dihydrogen phosphate salt, are combined with a setting <br/>fluid and the combined reactants are mixed to produce the settable <br/>composition. A feature of the invention is that cements rapidly set into high <br/>strength product compositions. Also provided are the compositions themselves <br/>as well as kits for preparing the same. The subject methods and compositions <br/>produced thereby find use in a variety of applications, including hard tissue <br/>repair applications.<br/>
