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

Renato Zagury et al. Implant Dent. 2007 Sep.

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.
