Abstract
Abstract An improved method for the production of endosseous implants which comprises thermally spraying a hydroxyapatite-containing powder onto the surface of a metallic core material, and treating the resultant product with an aqueous solution which does substantially not dissolve the hydroxyapatite but can dissolve calcium oxide and thereby dissolving out alkaline components. The endosseous implants of this invention show excellent mechanical properties and excellent affinity to the living body without hematolysis, and hence, are useful for the treatment or recovery of defective or lost bones, joints and tooth roots.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
55 words
A method for the production of endosseous implants comprising thermally spraying a hydroxyapatite-containing powder onto the surface of a metallic core material, and treating the thermally sprayed product with an aqueous solution which does substantially not dissolve the hydroxyapatite but does dissolve calcium oxide whereby the alkaline components are dissolved out from the said product.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
55 words
A method for the production of endosseous implants comprising thermally spraying a hydroxyapatite-containing powder onto the surface of a metallic core material, and treating the thermally sprayed product with an aqueous solution which does substantially not dissolve the hydroxyapatite but does dissolve calcium oxide whereby the alkaline components are dissolved out from the said product.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
The method according to claim 1, wherein the aqueous solution is an aqueous solution comprising ammonium chloride, magnesium chloride, ammonium nitrate or magnesium nitrate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
