Comparison of cell proliferation on the surfaces between 20 uncoated and 20 coated (gray bars) titanium samples by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay (error bars, standard deviation, n = 4 per type per time point). Absorbance by the MTT formazan chromophore at 570 nm, and D indicates the time of incubation in days. *P < 0.05

Figure 5

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image of uncoated and coated screws extracted from the bone. No detachment of the coating from the underlying screw is noted. Arrows indicate bone fragments (BFs). The amount and size of the BFs increased with increasing implantation periods. a) uncoated 7 weeks; b) coated 7 weeks; c) uncoated 12 weeks; d) coated 12 weeks; e) uncoated 24 weeks; and f ) coated 24 weeks (magnification ×100). Scale bars represent 1 mm

Histology of bone healing around the hydroxyapatite-coated and -uncoated screws in New Zealand white rabbits at 7 weeks, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks after surgery. Hematoxylin and eosin staining demonstrates bone remodeling comprising bone trabeculae with mixed woven bone and lamellar bone. Mature lamellar bone is only observed in coated sample at 24 weeks of implantation. a) uncoated 7 weeks; b) coated 7 weeks; c) uncoated 12 weeks; d) coated 12 weeks; e) uncoated 24 weeks; and f ) coated 24 weeks (magnification ×100; Ti, titanium; B, bone). Scale bars represent 200 μm
