Calcium phosphate coatings ($50 mm thick), especially those made with hydroxyapatite
(HA), produced by the plasma-spraying process have been successfully used on orthopedic …

Long-term fixation of metallic dental and medical implants in bony tissues continues to be a
problem. One possible solution involves the application of calcium phosphate (Ca-P) …

New promising techniques for depositing hydroxyapatite (HA) and calcium phosphate (CaP)
coatings on medical devices are continuously being investigated. Given the vast number of …

Plasma‐sprayed “HA” coatings on commercial orthopedic and dental implants consist of
mixtures of calcium phosphate phases, predominantly a crystalline calcium phosphate …

In surgical disciplines, where bones have to be repaired, augmented or improved, bone
substitutes are essential. Therefore, an interest has dramatically increased in application of …

Several factors playing a possible role in determining coating stability and bone tissue
response were studied in in vivo experiments. These factors involving the plasmaspray …

Plasma sprayed coatings of tetracalcium phosphate, magnesium whitlockite and three types
of hydroxyapatite, varying in degree of crystallinity, were evaluated with light microscopy …

Coating hydroxyapatite (HA) onto metal implant surfaces using the plasma-spraying
technique has been investigated in several laboratories as a means of improving the …

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is widely used as a coating on orthopedic medical implants to improve
anchoring to bone tissue and facilitate bone repair. The use of plasma-sprayed HA coatings …

This critical review reports that several decades of calcium phosphate investigations, mostly
on hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings, did not reveal a direct link between microstructural and …
