  • Title: Histomorphometric analyses of bone interface with titanium-aluminum-vanadium and hydroxyapatite-coated implants by biomimetic process.

    Journal: Implant Dent; 2007 Sep; 16(3):290-6. PubMed ID: 17846545.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: The surface properties of dental implants have been considered directly related to the success of the osseointegrated interface. Hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated implants promote a bioactive surface because they facilitate cellular migration and bone growth, resulting in a faster osseointegration. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study analyzed and compared 2 different implant surfaces: a group composed of titanium implants and another group coated with HA. The HA coating was produced by the biomimetic process to reduce costs. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: After histomorphometric analyses it was possible to demonstrate that there were no statistically significant differences between the groups.
