Hydroxyapatite coating converts fibrous tissue to bone around loaded implants

Abstract: In previous studies, we have demonstrated a fibrocartilaginous membrane around hydroxyapatite-coated implants subjected to micromovement in contrast to the fibrous connective tissue which predominates around similarly loaded Ti-coated implants had four times stronger fixation than did continuously loaded Ticoated implants (p < 0.01) but there was no equivalent difference between the two groups of HA-coated implants. The amount of bone ingrowth was greater into immobilised HA-coated implants than into

“…Recent studies have suggested that a circumferentially porous-coated, osseointegrated implant, or one that is coated with hydroxyapatite, may function in the same way as a well-fixed cemented implant. 58,59 There were some limitations to our study. We assigned an implant to a particular group according to established clinical and radiological criteria, but no special radiographic views were used.…”

“…Since then numerous reports have been published about the osteoconductive properties of CaP-coated implants (osteoconduction refers to the ability of a biomaterial to support the growth of bone over its surface). These CaP coatings are described to induce an increased bone-to-implant contact (38,(43)(44)(45), to improve the implant fixation (46), and to facilitate the bridging of small gaps between implant and surrounding bone (47,48). As an example of the osteoconductive properties of CaP coatings, Fig.…”

“…Hydroxyapatite coating (HA) is one such surface modification that has been suggested as a method to improve the bone-implant interface and perhaps also increase the strength of the surrounding bone. Loading might alter the fixation strength gained by HA coating, as the material is osteoconductive and has the capacity to replace fibrous membrane with bone around loaded implants [28]. Plasma-sprayed HA coatings have been shown to be effective for enhancement of the holding strength of external fixation pins when used for stabilisation of tibial fractures [19].…”
