Enhanced osteoconductivity of micro‐structured titanium implants (XiVE S CELLplus^™) by addition of surface calcium chemistry: a histomorphometric study in the rabbit femur

Abstract

The nano-structured Ca-incorporated oxide surface significantly enhanced osteoconductivity of micro-structured Ti implants in rabbit cancellous bone. Results indicate that this surface produced by simple hydrothermal treatment may be effective in improving the osseointegration of implants with micro-topographically complex surface structures in areas of loose cancellous bone.
