  • Title: Production of high quality ground sections of bone containing metal implants to demonstrate osseo-integration: a simplified method.
    Author: Allison RT, Sugar AW.
    Journal: Med Lab Sci; 1990 Jul; 47(3):168-71. PubMed ID: 2205774.
    Abstract:
    A simple method is described for examining bone-titanium implant relationship using a modified embedding technique. The method involves complete dehydration with acetone prior to infiltrating and embedding in methyl methacrylate supplemented with dibutylphthalate. Slow polymerisation is initiated with benzoyl peroxide, allowed to progress at room temperature and completed at 56 degrees C. Using this method the apparent complete apposition of bone to the titanium fixture surface has been successfully demonstrated.
