| Abstract: | The events at the hydroxyapatite implant material/tissue interface in the rat middle ear were studied by light microscopy, autoradiography, morphometry, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray microanalysis. Deposition of calcium, partially in the form of calcium phosphate, was found at the interface. Resorption of the implant material occurred as the result of mono- and multinuclear phagocyte activity. Resorption decreased 6 mnth after the operation, possibly due to the decreasing number of phagocytes at the interface and the increasing amount of bone in the macropores. |
