Comparison of bone reactions to coated tricalcium phosphate and pure titanium dental implants in the canine iliac crest.
Titanium and TCP-coated implants were compared after insertion in the canine iliac crest. Observation time was 14 wk. Evaluation included pull-out tests, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, and histologic examination of in situ, undemineralized implants. The TCP-coated implants were more firmly attached to bone than were the titanium implants. The calcium/phosphorus ratios around the titanium implants were higher than around the TCP-coated implants. Both types of implants were closely surrounded by bone after a 14-wk implantation.
