Characterization of bioceramics coating and evaluation of the influence of kind of coating on"nthe implantation has been developed in recent years."nDifferent bioceramics coating like calcium phosphate, hydroxyapatite, fluorapatite and bioglass were"ncoated on dental and orthopedic implants. In-vitro and in-vivo experiments were done for evolution of"nimplant success and reliability and study of factors, which may influence the results."nResearches indicate that different bioceramic coating may affect the bone bonding mechanism."nBiodegredable calcium phosphate coating can be resorbed and be replaced with bone tissues."nHydroxyapatite cause earlier stabilization of dental implant in surrounding bone (biological fixation) and"nreduce healing time. Bioglass can protect substrate and provide interfacial attachment to bone.
