## Abstract The aim of this study was to compare the osseointegration of four different implant surfaces in the GΓΆttingen minipig femur model. They were prepared by glasspearlblasting (A), sandblasting (B) and titaniumplasma spraying (C and D). Surface D received additionally an electrochemically d

β¦ Synopsis
Changes occurring at the surface of a calcium phosphate coating when in contact with osteoblasts versus those in acellular solutions were analyzed. The coating studied is one with a well-documented extensive effect on shortterm bone growth stimulation. Precipitates associated with original crystals and organized in a weblike structure were observed after a 3-week culture with osteoblasts. The precipitates were identified as carbonated hydroxyapatite (c-HA). In contrast, no significant surface changes were detected after immersion in an acellular serum-containing solution. However, in an acellular serum-free solution simulating the ionic composition of plasma, precipitates, identified as c-HA, were abundantly formed. Dissolution of the original coating preceded precipitation. The data support the hypothesis that dissolution of synthetic calcium phosphate ceramics is an initial step in their transformation to a biologically equivalent apatite, and suggest that both solution-mediated (dissolution-precipitation) and cellmediated mechanisms are involved in the surface transformation.
