— Titanium and TCP‐coated implants were compared after insertion in the canine iliac crest. Observation time was 14 wk. Evaluation included pull‐out tests, energy dispersive X‐ray analysis, and histologic examination of in situ , undemineralized implants. The TCP‐coated implants were more firmly attached to bone than were the titanium implants. The calcium/ phosphorus ratios around the titanium implants were higher than around the TCP‐coated implants. Both types of implants were closely surrounded by bone after a 14‐wk implantation.
