Abstract
Research into materials for medical application draws inspiration from naturally occurring or synthesized surfaces, just like many other research directions. For medical application of materials, particular attention has to be paid to biocompatibility, osseointegration, and bacterial adhesion behavior. To understand their properties and behavior, experimental studies with natural materials such as teeth are strongly required. The results, however, may be highly case-dependent because natural surfaces have the disadvantage of being subject to wide variations, for instance in their chemical composition, structure, morphology, roughness, and porosity. A synthetic surface which mimics enamel in its performance with respect to bacterial adhesion and biocompatibility would, therefore, facilitate systematic studies much better. In this study, we discuss the possibility of using hydroxyapatite (HAp) pellets to simulate the surfaces of teeth and show the possibility and limitations of using a model surface. We performed single-cell force spectroscopy with single Staphylococcus aureus cells to measure adhesion-related parameters such as adhesion force and rupture length of cell wall proteins binding to HAp and enamel. We also examine the influence of blood plasma and saliva on the adhesion properties of S. aureus. The results of these measurements are matched to water wettability, elemental composition of the samples, and the change in the macromolecules adsorbed over time on the surface. We found that the adhesion properties of S. aureus were similar on HAp and enamel samples under all conditions: Significant decreases in adhesion strength were found equally in the presence of saliva or blood plasma on both surfaces. We therefore conclude that HAp pellets are a good alternative for natural dental material. This is especially true when slight variations in the physicochemical properties of the natural materials may affect the experimental series.

Abstract
The biocompatibility of a cast porous and with a calcium titanate reaction layer functionalized titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-7Nb) was tested by means of cell culture, and a small (rat) and large animal (sheep) model. The uncoated titanium material served as a control. In-vitro tests included the validation of osteoblast-like cells attached to the surface of the material with scanning electron microscopy and immunofluorescence of cytoskeletal actin as well as their osteogenic development, the ability to mineralize, and their vitality. Following the in-vitro tests a small animal (rat) and big animal (sheep) model were accomplished by inserting a cylindrical titanium implant into a drill hole defect in the femoral condyle. After 7, 14, and 30 days (rat) and 6 months (sheep) the condyles were studied regarding histological and histomorphometrical characteristics. Uncoated and coated material showed a good biocompatibility both in cell culture and animal models. While the defect area in the rat is well consolidated after 30 days, the sheep show only little bone inside the implant after 6 months, possibly due to stress shielding. None of the executed methods indicated a statistically significant difference between coated and uncoated material.

Abstract
Electrolytically deposited carbonate apatite coating demonstrates higher strength but weaker support for bone marrow stromal cell attachment than do biomimetically deposited coatings. It is hypothesized that the incorporation of chitosan will increase the biocompatibility of electrolytic coating while maintaining its original strength. To verify this hypothesis, we formed a hybrid calcium phosphate/chitosan coating through electrodeposition. We found that the incorporation of chitosan influenced calcium phosphate formation and crystallization. Moreover, coating thickness and surface roughness decreased with increasing chitosan concentration. Hybrid coating exhibited an increased dissolution rate in both acidic and neutral simulated physiologic solution, whereas no significant difference on adhesive strength was found between the hybrid and original coatings (P > 0.05). Most importantly, the calcium phosphate/chitosan coating proved to be a more favorable surface for goat bone marrow stromal cell attachment than an unincorporated coating (P < 0.01). Considering its economic and simple production, a hybrid calcium phosphate/chitosan coating is thought to be an attractive candidate for future applications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim was to systematically search the dental literature for pre-clinical models assessing implant integration in locally compromised sites (part 1) and systemically compromised animals (part 2), and to evaluate the quality of reporting of included publications. METHODS A Medline search (1966-2011) was performed, complimented by additional hand searching. The quality of reporting of the included publications was evaluated using the 20 items of the ARRIVE (Animals in Research In Vivo Experiments) guidelines. RESULTS One-hundred and seventy-six (part 1; mean ARRIVE score = 15.6 ± 2.4) and 104 (part 2; 16.2 ± 1.9) studies met the inclusion criteria. The overall mean score for all included studies amounted to 15.8 ± 2.2. Housing (38.3%), allocation of animals (37.9%), numbers analysed (50%) and adverse events (51.4%) of the ARRIVE guidelines were the least reported. Statistically significant differences in mean ARRIVE scores were found depending on the publication date (p < 0.05), with the highest score of 16.7 ± 1.6 for studies published within the last 2 years. CONCLUSIONS A large number of studies met the inclusion criteria. The ARRIVE scores revealed heterogeneity and missing information for selected items in more than 50% of the publications. The quality of reporting shifted towards better-reported pre-clinical trials within recent years.

Abstract
We hypothesized that the electrochemical deposition of hydroxyapatite (EHA) can be used to incorporate silver (Ag), providing a controlled and sustained release of Ag ions at a bactericidal concentration. Six groups were investigated: electrochemical co-precipitation of HA and Ag (EHA/Ag); EHA pre-coated discs treated in AgN0(3) (EHA/AgN0(3)); plasma sprayed HA (PHA) pre-coated discs treated in AgN0(3) (PHA/AgN0(3)); EHA with 2 "layers" of Ag (EHA/Ag/2 layers); EHA coating only; and PHA coating only. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses quantified coating thickness, calcium/phosphorous ratio, and % atomic silver content, respectively. Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry quantified the amount of Ag released in phosphate-buffered saline, and zone of inhibition tests on agar plates using a lawn of Staph aureus were quantified in each group. XRD and EDX analysis confirmed the presence of Ag in all coatings. EHA coated discs with two layers of Ag and the EHA discs soaked in AgN0(3) showed significantly higher zones of inhibition at all time points when compared with all other groups (except PHA/AgN0(3) on day 0). This study demonstrated that Ag ions can be incorporated into a HA coating using an electrochemical technique.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The current study aimed to evaluate the osteogenic potential of electrosprayed organic and non-organic surface coatings in a gap-implant model over 4 and 12 weeks of implantation into the dog mandible. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixteen Beagle dogs received experimental titanium implants in the mandible 3 months after removal of left premolars (P2, P3 and P4). Three types of implants were installed in each animal: non-coated implant, nano-CaP coated implant and implant with type 1 collagen coating. Both micro-CT and histomorphometry were used to evaluate peri-implant bone response after implantation periods of 4 and 12 weeks. The bone area percentage was assessed histomorphometrically in three different zones (inner: 0-300 μm; middle: 300-600 μm; and outer: 600-1000 μm) around the implant surface. Bone-bridging of the gap was also calculated for each sample. RESULTS Four weeks after implantation, nano-CaP and collagen-coated implants showed significantly higher bone volume (BV) in the inner zone compared with non-coated implants (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01). After 12 weeks, histomorphometric analysis showed comparable amounts of BV between all experimental groups. Also, no significant difference was found in the BV, as measured using micro-CT, between the implant groups. Absolute bone ingrowth measurements were highest for collagen-coated implants, but these differences were not significant. CONCLUSION The obtained data failed to provide a consistent favourable effect on bone formation of the collagen coating over 3 months of implantation. It is concluded that the source of the collagen as well as the limited osseous environment overshadowed a possible effect of the applied implant surface modifications. Similarly, the tested nano-apatite surface coating did not improve peri-implant bone ingrowth into a gap-implant model.

Abstract
It is well established in the field of biomaterials that hydroxyapatite (HA) may provide interesting osteoconductive properties. In this study, we investigated the osseointegrational effect of a 50/50 vol % composite of HA nanoparticles and poly-D,L-lactic acid (PDLLA) coated on model titanium bone implants in an in vivo animal model. The aim is to evaluate how the addition of HA to PDLLA may improve the bone formation and initial fixation of the implant. Two titanium implants coated with the PDLLA/HA composite and pure PDLLA, respectively, were implanted bilaterally in proximal part of humeri with a 2-mm peri-implant gap in 10 sheep. After 12 weeks, the remains of the coatings were present on 20.3 and 19.8% of PDLLA/HA composite- and PDLLA-coated implants, respectively. It was observed that newly formed bone (39.3%) and fibrous tissue (58.3%) had replaced the PDLLA/HA composite, whereas pure PDLLA was replaced almost completely by fibrous tissue (96.2%). Consequently, the PDLLA/HA composite-coated implants were better fixated as confirmed by push-out tests. Using quantification of peri-implant tissue and implant fixation as parameters, the present findings, therefore, clearly reveal that the addition of nanoparticulate HA to a PDLLA coating on titanium implants increases osseointegration.

Abstract
By mimicking Nature, we can design and synthesize inorganic smart materials that are reactive to biological tissues. These smart materials can be utilized to design innovative third-generation biomaterials, which are able to not only optimize their interaction with biological tissues and environment, but also mimic biogenic materials in their functionalities. The biomedical applications involve increasing the biomimetic levels from chemical composition, structural organization, morphology, mechanical behavior, nanostructure, and bulk and surface chemical-physical properties until the surface becomes bioreactive and stimulates cellular materials. The chemical-physical characteristics of biogenic hydroxyapatites from bone and tooth have been described, in order to point out the elective sides, which are important to reproduce the design of a new biomimetic synthetic hydroxyapatite. This review outlines the evolving applications of biomimetic synthetic calcium phosphates, details the main characteristics of bone and tooth, where the calcium phosphates are present, and discusses the chemical-physical characteristics of biomimetic calcium phosphates, methods of synthesizing them, and some of their biomedical applications.

Abstract
Biomimetic and electrolytic deposition are versatile methods to prepare calcium phosphate coatings. In this article, we compared the effects of biomimetically deposited octacalcium phosphate and carbonate apatite coatings as well as electrolytically deposited carbonate apatite coating on the proliferation and differentiation of mouse osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. It was found that MC3T3-E1 cells cultured on the biomimetically deposited carbonate apatite coating demonstrated the greatest proliferation rate and the highest differentiation potential. Cells on the biomimetically deposited octacalcium phosphate coating had lower proliferation rate before day 7, but higher after that, than those on the electrolytically deposited carbonate apatite coating. There was no difference on the expression of early differentiation markers, that is, alkaline phosphatase activity and collagen content, between biomimetically deposited octacalcium phosphate and electrolytically deposited carbonate apatite coatings. However, higher expression of late differentiation markers, that is, osteocalcin and bone sialoprotein mRNA, was found on the biomimetically deposited octacalcium phosphate coating on day 14. These results suggest that the difference in in vitro osteoblast cell performance of calcium phosphate coatings might relate to their physicochemical properties. Biomimetic carbonate apatite coating is the most favorable surface for the proliferation and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells.

Abstract
Bioactive ceramics used as coating materials combine the conductive properties of a bioceramic with the mechanical stability of the metal implant. We studied a calcium zirconium phosphate-containing coating material, FA-CZP [Ca(5)(PO(4))(3)F, CaZr(4)(PO(4))(6)], that is relatively insoluble in the biological milieu. The reaction of bone to this material was investigated histologically and histomorphometrically in an animal trial. Cylindrical Ti6Al4V specimens that had been coated with FA-CZP by plasma spraying were implanted in the femoral condyles of rabbits. The implants were left in place for 2, 4, 6, 12, and 14 weeks. FA-CZP led to impaired mineralization of the newly formed bone at the interface. Noncalcified osteoid was found throughout the whole study period. The layer seemed to become thicker with time. The mineralization disorder is evidently caused by zirconium ions. The presence of zirconium in the osteoid in contact with the implant was demonstrated by means of two different staining methods.

Abstract
Some of the critical properties for a successful orthopedic or dental implant material are its biocompatibility and bioactivity. Pure titanium (Ti) and zirconium (Zr) are widely accepted as biocompatible metals, due to their non-toxicity. While the bioactivity of Ti and some Ti alloys has been extensively investigated, there is still insufficient data for Zr and titanium-zirconium (TiZr) alloys. In the present study, the bioactivity, that is, the apatite forming ability on the alkali and heat treated surfaces of Ti, Zr, and TiZr alloy in simulated body fluid (SBF), was studied. In particular, the effect of the surface roughness characteristics on the bioactivity was evaluated for the first time. The results indicate that the pretreated Ti, Zr and TiZr alloy could form apatite coating on their surfaces. It should be noted that the surface roughness also critically affected the bioactivity of these pretreated metallic samples. A surface morphology with an average roughness of approximately 0.6 microm led to the fastest apatite formation on the metal surfaces. This apatite layer on the metal surface is expected to bond to the surrounding bones directly after implantation.

Abstract
Porous hydroxyapatite scaffolds with different levels of fluorine substitution (46% and 85%) on the OH sites were produced via hydrothermal transformation of aragonitic cuttlefish bones at 200 degrees C and calcination at temperatures up to 1200 degrees C. The increasing level of F substitution reduces the kinetics and probably the yield of the reaction. The incorporation of F in the lattice of hydroxypatite caused a lowering of the unit cell volume due to reduction of the length of the a-axis. The crystallites formed were close in size to bone-like apatite and were orientated along the a-axis rather than the c-axis. There was evidence of AB-type carbonated apatite.

Abstract
The influence of bond-coating on the mechanical properties of plasma-spray coatings of hydroxyatite on Ti was investigated. Plasma-spray powder was produced from human teeth enamel and dentine. Before processing the main apatite coating, a very thin layer of Al2O3/TiO2 was applied on super clean and roughened, by Al2O3 blasting, Ti surface as bond-coating. The experimental results showed that bond-coating caused significant increase of the mechanical properties of the coating layer: In the case of the enamel powder from 6.66 MPa of the simple coating to 9.71 MPa for the bond-coating and in the case of the dentine powder from 6.27 MPa to 7.84 MPa, respectively. Both tooth derived powders feature high thermal stability likely due to their relatively high content of fluorine. Therefore, F-rich apatites, such those investigated in this study, emerge themselves as superior candidate materials for calcium phosphate coatings of producing medical devices. The methods of apatite powder production and shaping optimization of powder particles are both key factors of a successful coating. The methods used in this study can be adopted as handy, inexpensive and reliable ways to produce high quality of powders for plasma spray purposes.

Abstract
Our purpose was to evaluate the osteointegration of bilayered calcium phosphate (CaP)-coated femoral hip stems in a canine model. A first layer of hydroxyapatite (HA) 20 microm thick and a superficial layer of Biphasic Calcium Phosphate (BCP) 30 microm thick were plasma-sprayed on to the proximal region of sandblasted Ti6Al4V prostheses. Bilayered CaP-coated and non-coated canine femoral stems were implanted bilaterally under general anesthesia in 6 adult female Beagle dogs. After 6 and 12 months, a significant degradation of the bilayered coating occurred with a remainder of 33.1+/-12.4 and 23.6+/-9.2 microm in thickness, respectively. Lamellar bone apposition was observed on bilayered coated implants while fibrous tissue encapsulation was observed on non-coated femoral stems. The bone-implant contacts (BIC) were 91+/-3% and 81+/-8% for coated and 7+/-8% and 8+/-12% for non-coated implants, at 6 and 12 months, respectively. Our study supports the concept of a direct relationship between the biodegradation of CaP coating and the enhanced osteointegration of titanium prostheses. A bilayered CaP coating might therefore enhance bone apposition in the early stages because of the superior bioactivity of the BCP layer while the more stable HA layer might sustain bone bonding over long periods.

Abstract
Plasma electrochemical surface ceramic coating (PECC) is an enhanced electrochemistry technique accomplished by means of plasma arc discharge in an electrolyte medium obtain coating structures on valve-metal surfaces. Oxide films of titanium obtained by PECC in the electrolyte of sodium phosphate were investigated. The film was composed mainly of TiO2 in the form of anatase and rutile and enriched with Na and P elements on their surfaces. Their apatite-inducing ability was also evaluated in a simulated body fluid (SBF). When immersed in SBF for over 30 days, an oriented hydroxy-carbonate-apatite was induced on the surface of the films, which suggests the PECC-treated titanium has the promising positive biological response.

Abstract
Biomimetically deposited octacalcium phosphate (OCP) and carbonate apatite (BCA) as well as electrolytically deposited carbonate apatite (ECA) were considered as promising alternatives to conventional plasma spraying hydroxyapatite. This study compared their physicochemical characteristics and cell attachment behavior. The physicochemical characteristics included scanning electron microscopy observation, X-ray diffraction analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis, surface roughness, coating thickness, dissolution test and scratch test. Cell attachment tests included morphology observation with stereomicroscopy and scanning electron microscopy as well as cell number count with DNA content assay. The OCP coating had 100% crystallinity and was about 40 microm thick, composed of large plate-like crystals of 30 microm, with the lowest surface roughness (R(a)=2.33 microm). The BCA coating had 60% crystallinity and was approximately 30 microm in thickness, composed of small crystals of 1-2 microm in size, with the highest surface roughness (R(a)=4.83 microm). The ECA coating had intermediate characteristics, with 78% crystallinity, 45 microm thickness, crystals of 5-6 microm and an average roughness of 3.87 microm. All coatings could be seen by eyes dissolving quickly and completely into acidic simulated body fluid (simulated physiological solutions-SPS, pH 3.0) but slowly and incompletely into neutral SPS (pH 7.3). It was suggested that the main factor determining coating dissolution in acidic SPS was the solubility isotherm, while some other factors including crystallinity and crystal size joined to determine coating dissolution in neutral SPS. In regard to adhesive strength, results of scratch test showed the critical load at the first crack of coating (L(c1)) was tightly related to crystal size as well as their arrangement, while the critical load at the total delamination of coating (L(c2)) was also related to the coating thickness. The ECA coating had the highest values. Owing to higher dissolution rate and globular appearance, BCA coating demonstrated the best goat bone marrow stromal cells attachment at 1 day or 3 days, followed by OCP and ECA coating.

Abstract
Biomimetic apatite coatings on micro-arc oxidized titania films were investigated and their apatite-inducing ability was evaluated in a simulated body fluid (1.0 SBF) as well as in a 1.5 times concentrated SBF (1.5 SBF). Titania-based films on titanium were prepared by micro-arc oxidation at various applied voltages (250-500 V) in an electrolytic solution containing beta-glycerophosphate disodium salt pentahydrate (beta-GP) and calcium acetate monohydrate (CA). Macro-porous, Ca- and P-containing titania-based films were formed on the titanium substrates. The phase, Ca and P content, morphology, and thickness of the films were strongly dependent on the applied voltage. In particular, Ca- and P-containing compounds such as CaTiO3, beta-Ca2P2O7 and alpha-Ca3(PO4)2 were produced at higher voltages (>450 V). When immersed in 1.0 SBF, a carbonated hydroxyapatite was induced on the surfaces of the films oxidized at higher voltages (>450 V) after 28 days, which is closely related to the Ca- and P-containing phases. The use of 1.5 SBF shortened the apatite induction time and apatite formation was confirmed even on the surface of the films oxidized at 350 V, which suggests that the incorporated Ca and P in the titania films play a similar role to the Ca- and P-containing compounds in the SBF.

Abstract
The present study demonstrates increased early mechanical fixation of titanium implants coated with a new biomimetic apatite surface in a rat model. Male Sprague-Dawley rats received unilateral femoral medullary implants for periods of 1-4 weeks. The strength of fixation of the implant to the host bone increased more rapidly in the group receiving apatite-treated implants compared with the control group as evidenced by the apatite group's 21-fold greater fixation strength at 1 week (p = 0.009), 4-fold greater fixation strength at 2 weeks (p = 0.041), and 2-fold greater fixation strength at 4 weeks (p = 0.093) compared with the control. Fixation strength was correlated with bone-implant contact as determined from micro computed tomography assessment of the specimens (r2 = 0.338, p = 0.011 in the control group and r2 = 0.543, p < 0.001 in the apatite group). Furthermore, for a given amount of bone-implant contact, the fixation strength was higher in the apatite group than in the control group (p = 0.011), suggesting that the bone formed a stronger bond to the apatite coating than to the titanium. This difference in bonding strength accounted for the difference in mechanical behavior.

Abstract
The biomimetic route allows the homogeneous deposition of calcium phosphate (Ca-P) coatings on porous implants by immersion in simulated physiologic solution. In addition, various Ca-P phases, such as octacalcium phosphate (OCP) or bone-like carbonated apatite (BCA), which are stable only at low temperatures, can be deposited. In this pilot study, experiments were designed with a twofold-purpose: (1) to investigate the osteoinduction of OCP-coated and noncoated porous tantalum cylinders and of dense titanium alloy cylinders (5 mm in diameter and 10 mm in length) in the back muscle of goats at 12 and 24 weeks (n = 4); and (2) to compare the osteogenic potentials of BCA-coated, OCP-coated, and bare porous tantalum cylinders in a gap of 1 mm created in the femoral condyle of a goat at 12 weeks (n = 2). In the goat muscle, after 12 weeks the OCP-coated porous cylinder had induced ectopic bone as well as bone within the cavity of the OCP-coated dense titanium cylinder. In the femoral condyle, bone did not fill the gap in any of the porous implants. In contrast with the two other groups, OCP-coated porous cylinders exhibited bone formation in the center of the implant. The nature of the Ca-P coating, via its microstructure, its dissolution rate, and its specific interactions with body fluids, may influence the osteogenecity of the Ca-P biomaterial.

Abstract
Biomimetic calcium-phosphate (Ca-P) coatings were applied on Ti6Al4V by using simulated body fluids concentrated by a factor 5 (SBFx5). The production of SBFx5 solution was possible by decreasing the pH of the solution to approximately 6 using CO2 gas. The subsequent release of this mildly acidic gas led to a pH rise and thus, increasing supersaturation. After immersion for 5(1/2) h a Ca-P coating on Ti6Al4V plates and a precipitate simultaneously formed at pH = 6.8. Sodium chloride (NaCl) and hydrogencarbonate (HCO3) contents were studied in relation to CO2 release and coating formation by changing their individual concentration in SBFx5 solution. On one hand, NaCl-free or low NaCl-content SBFx5 solution led to the earlier aspecific precipitation in the solution than for SBFx5 solution. In contrast, Ca-P coating was formed later and was thinner than the coating obtained in regular SBFx5 solution. High ionic strength delayed precipitation and favored Ca-P heterogeneous nucleation on Ti6Al4V. On the other hand, HCO3- content increased the pH of the solution due to its buffering capacity and influenced the release rate of dissolved CO2. Thus, HCO3- content strongly affected the supersaturation and Ca-P structure. Furthermore, HCO3- favored the attachment of Ca-P mineral on Ti6Al4V by decreasing Ca-P crystal size resulting in a better physical attachment of Ca-P coating on Ti6Al4V substrate.

Abstract
Osteoconductive calcium phosphate coatings for total joint arthroplasty have been in clinical use since the mid1980s. The basic principles involved and basic science evidence for the efficacy of osteoconductive coatings were examined. Hydroxyapatite coatings provide consistent and better filling with bone of the gaps and spaces around cementless joint components after surgery as compared with porous-coated implant surfaces, resulting in better implant stability. Of all the calcium phosphate coatings, hydroxyapatite coatings have had the most widespread application in hip arthroplasty. Their clinical advantages over more conventional implant surfaces are evident in primary and revision hip arthroplasties. A clinical survival rate in the author's series of 97% at a minimum of 11 years followup for the femoral component in a young active patient population (average age, 53 years) was obtained with no mechanical failures. The average polyethylene wear rate in this group was 0.129 mm/year. In a similar group of young patients with revision arthroplasty using hydroxyapatite-coated femoral components, an 11-year survival rate of 93% was obtained. Histologic analysis of specimens retrieved at autopsy confirmed the excellent bony fixation of components. Advantages of the more recent biomimetic hydroxyapatite coatings were examined.

Abstract
This study represents the first report of the physical and chemical changes occurring in coatings of failed hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated titanium implants obtained from a comprehensive, multicenter human dental implant study. A total of 53 retrieved samples were obtained and compared with unimplanted controls with the same manufacturer and similar manufacture dates. Forty-five retrieved implants were examined for surface characteristics and bulk composition. Implants were staged based on implantation history: stage 1 (implants retrieved between surgical placement and surgical uncovering), stage 2 (implants retrieved at surgical uncovering and evaluation), stage 3 (implants retrieved between surgical uncovering evaluation and occlusal loading), and stage 4 (implants retrieved after occlusal loading). Scanning electron microscopy showed progressive coating thinning with implantation time. At later stages, bare Ti metal was detected by energy-dispersive X-ray analysis and electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis. Increases in Ti and Al (2-7.5 atm % each) were detected at the apical ends of all stage 4 samples. In unimplanted coatings, X-ray diffraction analysis demonstrated the presence of amorphous calcium phosphate, beta-tricalcium phosphate, tetracalcium phosphate, and calcium oxide in addition to large hydroxyapatite crystals (c axis size, D002 = 429 +/- 13 A; a axis size, D300 = 402 +/- 11 A, a/c aspect ratio 0.92). The nonapatitic phases disappeared with increased implantation time, although there was a persistence of amorphous calcium phosphate. Bulk coating chemical analysis showed that Ca/P ratios for implant controls (1.81 +/- 0.01) were greater than stoichiometric HA (1.67) and decreased for implant stages 3 and 4 (1.69 +/- 0.09 and 1.67 +/- 0.09, respectively), explained by the dissolution of the non apatitic phases. Crystal sizes also changed with implantation times, being smaller than the control at all but stage 4. Fourier transform infrared analyses agreed with these results, and also indicated the accumulation of bone (protein and carbonate-apatite) in the retrieved coatings. The accumulation of bone was not stage dependent. These findings indicate that there was some biointegration with the surrounding bone, but the greatest changes occurred with the HA coating materials, their loss, and chemical change.
