The aim of this study was to investigate the biological and mechanical response of bone to titanium plasmasprayed implants of different roughnesses. Three types of titanium plasma-spray coating were applied to beamshaped implants: Ti2, Ti3, and Ti4, with a Ra of 16.5, 21.4, and 37.9 m, respectively.

โฆ Synopsis
The aim of this study was to investigate the bone response to three different types of titanium (Ti) alloys and hydroxyapatite (HA) coated titanium alloy by histological and histomorphometrical analysis. Therefore, implants made of these materials were inserted into the tibia of rabbits. Implantation times were 6 and 16 weeks. The histological evaluation included measurement of the amount of bone apposition and analysis of the bone reaction and interface characteristics around the implants. The results demonstrated no marked differences in bony reaction to the different implant materials. In addition, the HA coatings showed loss of thickness.

Various studies already have shown that the occurrence of oral implant failure is higher in the maxilla than in the mandible. To learn whether Ca-P coatings can improve the success rate of oral implants in the maxilla, three different plasma-sprayed, Ca-P-coated, self-tapping Brรฅnemark implants were
## Abstract Roughened titanium (Ti) surfaces have been widely used for dental implants. In recent years, there has been the tendency to replace Ti plasmaโsprayed surfaces by sandblasted and acidโetched surfaces in order to enhance osseous apposition. Another approach has been the utilization of hyd
