title: [Titanium porous-surface screw implant].
abstract: Titanium porous-surfaced screw implant was made by plasma-spray with Ti powder. The pore size was 80-300 microns. Two groups of implants were implanted in the mandibles of 15 dogs. Group A: porous-surfaced screw implant: Group B: smooth surface screw implant. The bone healing was evaluated by L. M. SEM. and shear strength testing. The results show that the osteo integration of two groups were completed after 12 weeks. The bone grew into porous surface. The shear strength of group A was significantly higher than that of group B.
