| 摘要 |
This invention relates to a biomaterial useful in bone repair and replacement, and to implants for cranofacial, orthopaedic, and especially dental applications. The implants have a unique geometric configuration, their surfaces defining concavities having a shape and dimensions which induce or enhance the rate and/or amount of bone growth at the implant site. The biomaterial preferably has a specific porous configuration and the implant may be at least coated with such a biomaterial of hydroxyapatite, for example.
