Some advances in endosseous implants

C L Lavelle et al. J Oral Rehabil. 1981 Jun.

Abstract

A major advance in endosseous implantology hinges on the coating of titanium implants by porous biodegradable, bioreactive tricalcium phosphate ceramic. When implanted into alveolar bone by a careful technique, the ceramic is resorbed to be replaced by bone. As a result, the endosseous implant becomes ankylosed to the bone. This represents a stable implant/bone interface as opposed to the unstable connective tissue interface that encapsulates many other implant devices.
