The Effect of Hydroxyapatite Nanocrystals on Osseointegration of Titanium Implants: An In Vivo Rabbit Study

Osseointegration is dependent on implant surface characteristics, including surface chemistry and topography. The presence of nanosized calcium phosphates on the implant surface is interesting to investigate since they affect both the nanotopography and surface chemistry, forming a bone mineral rese...
