Bone response to radio frequency sputtered calcium phosphate implants and titanium implants in vivo.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of radio frequency sputtered calcium phosphate (CaP) coatings of titanium (Ti) implants on the bond strength at the bone-implant interface and percent bone contact length. Cylindrical coated or noncoated implants (4.0-mm diameter by 8-mm long) were implanted for 3 and 12 weeks. At 3 weeks after implant placement, the ultimate interfacial strengths for as-deposited CaP-coated and heat-treated CaP-coated implants were 2.29 +/- 0.14 MPa and 1.28 +/- 0.04 MPa, respectively. These ultimate interfacial strength values at 3 weeks were statistically greater than the mean ultimate interfacial strength for control Ti implants (0.67 +/- 0.13 MPa). At 12 weeks after implant placement, no statistical differences in the mean ultimate interfacial strengths were observed between the as-deposited CaP-coated, heat-treated CaP-coated, and control Ti implants. Histomorphometric evaluation indicated greater percent bone contact lengths for the as-deposited CaP-coated implants compared with the heat-treated CaP-coated and control Ti implants 3 and 12 weeks after implant placement.
