Vertical Osteoconductive Characteristics of Titanium Implants with Calcium-Phosphate-Coated Surfaces - A Pilot Study in Rabbits
2014
Introduction: Osteoconductive characteristics of different implant surface coatings are in the focus of current interest. The aim of the present study was to compare the vertical osteoconductivity at the implant shoulder of supracrestal inserted calcium-phosphate coated implants (SLA-CaP) with conventional sand-blasted/acid-etched (SLA) implants in a rabbit model. Materials and Methods: SLA-CaP and SLA implants were inserted bilaterally in the mandible of four rabbits in a split-mouth design. The implants were placed 2 mm supracrestal. After 3 weeks, at the left and right implant shoulder, the percentage of linear bone fill (PLF) as well as bone-implant contact (BIC-D) were determined. Resu…
