Description
Summary:Oral reconstruction using osteointegrated implants are widely indicated nowadays. The implant bone anchorage is very important for its functional stability. Thus, ceramic biomaterials are widely used as coatings of the implant surfaces to accelerate local osteogenesis. The purpose of this study is to assess the biocompatibility and the osteoconduction of two types of calcium phosphate ceramics used as titanium dental implant coatings. These implants were installed in rabbit tibia during an 8-week healing period. The light and fluorescent microscopy observations showed that the materials are biocompatible and that they have osteoconductive activities.
