Description:
Since the discovery in 1969 of a man-made surface-active material that would bond to bone, a range of materials with the same ability has been developed. These include glass, glass-ceramic, and ceramic materials which have a range of reaction rates and from which it should be possible to select a surface-active material for a specific application. The available materials and their similarities, differences, and current clinical applications are reviewed.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hench, L L -- Wilson, J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1984 Nov 9;226(4675):630-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6093253" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
