Abstract

The bonding strength of uncoated, glass-coated and hydroxyapatite-coated cylindrical alumina implants was tested after implantation in the femora of Göttingen minipigs. HA-coating resulted in detachment of the coating during push-out test already 4 weeks after implantation at app. 4 MPa. A comparable bonding strength was reached in uncoated implants after 8 weeks and never was reached by only glass-coated implants.
