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

## 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
Fourteen titanium porous-coated implants with a cylindrical shape (length 22 mm and diameter 5\_+0.3 mm) were prepared. Bead size was 250-350 gm. Seven implants were plasma-sprayed with hydroxyapatite and the other seven remained uncoated. Implants, both hydroxyapatite-coated and uncoated, were rand
