Fixing of the prosthesis to the skeletal part

  • Chapter
Bioceramics

Abstract

In many cases the functionality of a prosthesis depends on the stability of the bond established between the prosthesis and bone tissue. There are a variety of circumstances which can affect the relation between the stability of an implant and its liability to loosening. The interdependence between the biological and biomechanical factors that can lead to loosening is a subject which has been studied and summarized by Lee and Ling 1984 (Fig. 12.1). Of course, the problem of loosening is focused in the bone/implant interface area, because it is the progressive deterioration of this area which eventually results in loosening and mechanical failure of either the bone or the device.
