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.

β¦ Synopsis
The aim of this study was to investigate the bone response to calcium phosphate (Ca-P) plasma-spray and radiofrequency magnetron sputter-coated implants with comparable roughness. Therefore, tapered conical screw designed implants were installed in the trabecular bone of the femurs of nine goats. They were provided with two types of coatings, a plasma-spray dual coating of fluorapatite and hydroxyapatite (FA/HA-PS) and a titanium plasma-spray coating, covered with an amorphous Ca-P magnetron sputtercoating (TPS/Ca-P-a). These implants were evaluated histologically and mechanically after 3 months of implantation. A wellcontrolled method to apply and measure a torsional force to load the screw-type implants to the point of failure was introduced. All implants healed uneventful and were well fixed. No significant difference (Student t test, p > 0.05) for the torsional failure force was measured for both type of coatings. Nevertheless, SEM revealed differently situated fracture planes. Light microscopy showed intimate boneimplant contact for both types of coatings; original drill margins were still visible. A lamellar type of bone with some remodeling lacunae was shown. Histomorphometry revealed a higher percentage of bone contact for the FA/HA-PS-coated implants (student t test, p < 0.05). Measurement of the amount of bone revealed more bone mass around TPS/ Ca-P-a-coated implants (analysis of variance and Tukey multiple comparison, p < 0.05).
