Abstract
A new polymer material has been developed for tooth implants. This material appears to be more successful than previous materials used, in that self support of toothβreplica implants have been demonstrated in baboons. The surface topography of the new material has been studied with a scanning electron microscope and a laceβlike pattern was demonstrated, which had certain similarities to the surface of cementum of natural teeth.

## Abstract A theory is proposed stating that an ideal implant material must have a dynamic surface chemistry that induces histological changes at the implant interface which would normally occur if the implant were not present. Evidence for the validity of this theory is provided with a series of
Abrasive waterjet (AWJ) peening is a new mechanical surface treatment process envisioned for use on metal orthopedic implants. The process utilizes an abrasive waterjet to simultaneously texture and work harden the surface of a metal substrate through controlled hydrodynamic erosion. In this study,
