title: A modified hydroxylapatite implant material. A preliminary report.
abstract: Hydroxylapatite implants are becoming widely used, but this new material is not without its drawbacks. These mainly concern its physical characteristics, complicating and limiting its clinical applications. A method of altering these with fibrin adhesives is described and early laboratory and clinical experience is presented.
