Abstract
A comparison was made between screw-shaped c.p. titanium implants blasted with either 25- or 75-microns particles of Al2O3. The implant surfaces were investigated with respect to topography and composition before implantation in rabbit bone. Grit blasting with 25- or 75-microns particles produced two different surface roughnesses, but no significant difference in the surface composition for the two surfaces. After 12 weeks insertion time in the rabbit tibia and femur, a higher removal torque and more bone-to-metal contact was found for the implants blasted with 75-microns particles compared with the 25-microns-blasted ones.Entities:
