This study aimed to evaluate the influence of implant design and bioactive glass (BAG) coating on the response of bone to fiber?reinforced composite (FRC) implants. Three different FRC implant types were manufactured for the study: non?threaded implants with a BAG coating; threaded implants with a BAG coating; and threaded implants with a grit?blasted surface. Thirty?six implants (six implants for each group per time point) were installed in the tibiae of six pigs. After an implantation period of 4 and 12 wk, the implants were retrieved and prepared for micro?computed tomography (micro?CT), push?out testing, and scanning electron microscopy analysis. Micro?CT demonstrated that the screw?threads and implant structure remained undamaged during the installation. The threade…
