[High voltage transmission electron microscope and X-ray double-crystal diffractometer observation of pure titanium
1Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Ninth People's Hospital, Shanghai Medical University, Shanghai 2000011.
Objective:
To examine the integration of pure titanium implant and bone tissue.
Methods:
Using low temperature dualion mill technique, the interface of titanium implant and bone was examined with high voltage transmission electron microscope and X-ray double crystal diffractometer.
Results:
It was shown that calium globules of various electron density or sheets of calcified osseous tissue blended with titanium at the interface. The bone had grown in two directions.
Conclusion:
The integration of pure titanium implant and bone tissue is good, leaving no gap at their interface.
