Influence of Implants Surface Properties on Bone Tissue Formation in the Ectopic Osteogenesis Test

Abstract

We studied the influence of the characteristics of oxide porous coatings on osteogenesis and integration of new bone tissue and titanium implant surface in the ectopic osteogenesis test. Implants with coating with pore size 2-20 μ exhibit better osteogenic and osteoconductive characteristics than implants with homogenous surface and smooth relief (pore size 0.5-5.0 μ). Physical characteristics of the surface of the material along with chemical composition of the coating are essential for the formation of bone tissue and its integration with the implant.
