METHOD FOR PRODUCING ENDOSSEOUS IMPLANTS

摘要

Endosseous implants are produced by thermally spraying a ceramic material onto the surface of a core of titanium or titanium alloy which was previously subjected to a surface oxidation treatment. The desired implants have the characteristics of both the metallic material and the ceramic material and do not dissolve out harmful metal ions. The endosseous implants are useful for implantation in various bones including tooth roots and joints in living bodies.
