Abstract

Aim To investigate whether heat treatment of Ti-Al-Va screw type implants prior to their insertion enhances the extent of osseointegration into the femur bone of rats. Method Heat- treated implants (incubation in 280 C in air prior to implantation were inserted in all rats into one femur while non-heat treated implants were inserted into the contralateral femur in the same rat. Femurs bearing the implant were fixed, embedded and sectioned longitudinally through the metal implant and the bone. The extent of osseointegration was evaluated using quantitative histological methods.
