✦ Synopsis

Ceramic materials for permanent implantation in osseous tissue, called osteoceramics, were based on an equimolar mixture of Cas(PO,), and MgA1,0,. Tooth roots with dense regions and with regions of controlled porosity for tissue ingrowth were made from the material. They were implanted submucosally in the mandible and'maxilla of dogs. Tissue response was acceptable and strong attachment occurred. Thin sections are presented showing the interface of the alveolar bone and the prosthesis.
