Methods for evaluating the interface between bone and an experimental dental implant have been analyzed. The material studied was a titanium implant coated with a mixture of alumina and titanium dioxide by means of a plasma-jet system with the dog as the animal model. The evaluations were made on tw

โฆ Synopsis
A simple technique is described for in vivo assessing the interfacial rigidity between a dental root implant and the bone surrounding it. The method is based on estimating the frequency (10 to 150 KHz) and amplitude of the vibration of the implant induced by a small pulsed force. Application of the force to the implant and de-tection of the vibrational signal from the implant are performed by lightly touching it with two fine needles connected with piezoelectric elements. A distinct signal difference observed in animal tests of bioactive implant and nonbioactive one is shown to well agree with that obtained from corresponding ex vivo models.
