## Abstract Previous investigations have shown that both the early biological response and the mechanical properties of a porous hydroxyapatite bone graft substitute are highly sensitive to its pore structure. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the pore structure continued to influ

This study sought to quantify bone ingrowth from a single bone-implant surface into porous block hydroxyapatite used in maxillofacial applications. Seventeen maxillary hydroxyapatite implants (implant time of 4-138 months, 39-month mean) were harvested for analysis from 14 patients. The implants had
Porous hydroxyapatite, converted hydrothermally from the calcium carbon exoskeleton of the coral genus Goniopora (CHAG), has been shown to be effective as a scaffold for bone ingrowth (2,3,(5)(6)(7)9). However, the large pores in the material resulted in low compressive strengths. In a previous stud
