title: Histologic observations following the placement of tricalcium phosphate implants in human intrabony defects.
abstract: Biopsies of soft tissue with visible ceramic particles were removed from the coronal part of grafted sites during reentry surgery. After 1 year there was evidence of osteoid forming alongside and within many of the ceramic particles. Viable fragments of mature bone were also observed separate from the ceramic material.
