Biocompatibility and Osseointegration of Titanium Implants with a Silver-Doped Polysiloxane Coating: An In Vivo Pig Model.

To test the antimicrobial properties, surface topography, reaction of surrounding tissue (biocompatibility), and osseointegration of ultrathin implant surfaces containing polysiloxane and nanoscaled silver particles. Implants with polysiloxane coating and nanoscaled silver particles (Ag/SiO Roughness parameters did not differ between all three implant types. The Ag/SiO The osseointegration capability of the Ag/SiO
