  • Title: [In vitro and in vivo biocompatibility of stainless steel as a function of surface treatments: roughness and surfacing with hydroxyapatite].

    Journal: Rev Stomatol Chir Maxillofac; 1997 Nov; 98 Suppl 1():58-60. PubMed ID: 9471699.
    Abstract:
    The in vitro tests on cell viability reveal a favorable position for steel and hydroxyapatite (HA)? However, the roughness induces a negative effect on cell proliferation. Sandblasting of the stainless steel considerably decreased cell number compared with the polished substrate. HA showed a better percentage of proliferation in spite of the surface effect compared with controls. For in vivo biocompatibility, intramuscular implants revealed localized inflammatory reactions for the HA treated stainless steel but nor for the untreated alloy.
