The histopathologic characteristics of interface phenomena existing along the surfaces of intraosseous metallic implants has been the subject of much discussion in relating the composition and configuration of implant fixtures to maximal osteointegration. (1,2) The purpose of this study was to evaluate and characterize host bone changes to various types of intraosseous metal implants placed in the femurs of six Papio anubis baboons. We wished to evaluate changes in recipient site bone remodeling which could be related to the specifics of configuration and type of metal implant used.
