The hydroxylapatite-bone interface. Studies on a human biopsy.
Augmentation of the mandible with HA and cancellous bone appears to be a clinically stable and reliable procedure. A human biopsy, taken after 16 months, shows a mature bone frame embedding HA particles and a stable HA-bone interface. Minimal biodegradation was observed in the subperiosteal layer.
