In vitro and in vivo bioactivity studies were performed to assess the biocompatibility of CaO-P 2O 5 glass-reinforced hydroxyapatite (GR-HA) composites. The ability to form an apatite layer by soaking in simulated body fluid (SBF) was examined and surfaces were characterized using FTIR reflection and thin-film X-ray diffraction analyses. Qualitative histology, histomorphometric measurements, and push-out testing were performed in a rabbit model for characterizing bone/implant bonding. Under the in vitro conditions using SBF, an apatite layer could not be formed on GR-HA composites within 8 weeks. Results of push-out testing showed bonding between the composites and bone, ranging from 130-145 N after 2 weeks of implantation. After the longest implantation period, 16 weeks, the GR-HA composite prepared with the higher content of CaO-P 2O 5 glass showed the highest bonding force, 606 ± 45 N, compared to 459 ± 30 N for sintered HA. Development of immature bone and modifications in the turnover of a more mature bone on the surface of GR-HA composites were similar to those on sintered HA. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
