Vertical Osteoconductive Characteristics of Titanium Implants with Calcium‐Phosphate‐Coated Surfaces – A Pilot Study in Rabbits

Abstract

The results of this study show for the first time that calcium-phosphate coated surfaces on supracrestal inserted implants have vertical osteoconductive characteristics and increase the bone-implant contact at the implant shoulder significantly in a rabbit model. In clinical long-term settings, these implants may contribute to a better vertical bone height.
