ABSTRACT
To improve the devices used in dental implantology, a new experimental supporting element has been developed. The device, made of titanium, poly(methylmethacrylate) and Dacron tissue, has been tested for the osteointegrability of its outer Dacron coat by implants in mandibular bone of rabbits. The Dacron filamentous tissue became incorporated by the bone at 3 month post-implantation. This might provide a reliable mechanical anchorage of the device and a barrier against epithelial proliferation and microbial contamination. Preliminary results relating to in vitro evaluation of the poly(methyl methacrylate)-Dacron fixation strength predict favourable mechanical behaviour at this interface and in the complete implanted device.
