A comparative study of different beta-whitlockite ceramics in rabbit cortical bone with regard to their
Biomaterials
|March 1, 1986
Abstract:
Different beta-whitlockite ceramic cylinders of standard size were implanted in the tibiae of rabbits to study the influence of micropores and chemistry on the biodegradation rate. The materials were evaluated by radiography and light microscopy. Surface chemistry was varied by the addition of impurities, while different applied pressures before sintering and different sintering temperatures gave rise to different micropores. Both factors influenced the biodegradation rate.
