Popis: | Variable alumina quantities were added to two types of calcium phosphate materials-hydroxyapatite ceramics with Ca/P = 1.67 and calcium metaphosphate glass with Ca/P = 1--in order to increase their mechanical properties. Raman spectroscopy shows that alumina interacts with the phosphate group of these materials, while thermomechanical analysis shows that their elastic modulus has a value similar to that of bone. Histological sections demonstrate that the surface in close contact with ceramic materials shows a good integration between bone and biomaterial. All ceramic specimens are penetrated by well-stained, presumably glycoprotein, matrix, that consistently forms a thin network in close contact with the implant. After 6 weeks bone growing on both ceramic and glass shows signs of maturation with a lamellar structure and an apparently normal mineralization. In the case of the glass, inside this newly formed bone, were often observed two layers, the internal one showing a well defined lamellar structure. |
