Abstract
The effect of electrical stimulation upon the direct tensile strength of the interface union between porous calcium aluminate implants and bone plus the amount of bone formation were investigated in the femurs of rabbits. An increased tensile strength of the interface in proportion to the amount of bone formation into the pores and the amount of electrical stimulation used in vivo occurred.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
