There are many controversies about the long-term prognosis of hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated implants. Failure may be related to compositional and structural changes of the coating occurring during implantation. Two retrieved and two unused HA-coated blade-type implants were examined by stereomicroscopy
The purpose of this study was to develop an analytical method for evaluating the dissolution behavior of plasmasprayed hydroxyapatite (HAP) coatings. Six commercially available and clinically used coatings applied to nonporous titanium coupons according to their respective specifications for orthope
