Ceramic medical implant having an osseconductive coating

摘要

A ceramic medical implant devised for permanent anchorage in bone tissue is disclosed. The ceramic medical implant has a coating on an outer porous surface thereon, wherein the outer porous surface has a surface roughness. The coating comprises calcium phosphate, applied with a coating thickness on the outer porous surface of the ceramic medical implant. A ratio of the coating thickness to the surface roughness is in a range of 0,5% to 30%, whereby osseointegration of the ceramic medical implant is promoted upon implantation of the ceramic medical implant. Moreover a method of producing such a ceramic medical implant is disclosed. According to an embodiment the ceramic medical implant is a ceramic dental implant.
