Pellets of well-characterized microporous hydroxyapatite (HA) ceramic were implanted in hamsters in two nonosseous sites: (1) in the fatty tissue of the gingival crease, far from bony tissue and (2) in intraperitoneal sites. The implants in site 1 were placed directly in contact with tissues, cells, and extracellular fluids while the implants in site 2 were placed in special chambers made of plexiglass cylinders covered in both ends with millipore filters, preventing contact with tissues and cells, but not with extracellular fluids. The hamsters were sacrificed and the implants recovered after 8, 16, 30, 150, and 365 days. The pellets were characterized using x-ray diffraction, infrared absorption, thermogravimetry, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and calcium and phosphate analyses before and after implantation. Physicochemical analyses of HA ceramic implants before and after implantation demonstrated the formation of new material which was significantly different from the HA ceramic in terms of the following: (a) morphology (size of shape) of crystals; (b) intimate association of the inorganic phase of the new material with an organic phase similar to inorganic/organic association in bone; (c) the inorganic phase of the new material is a CO3-apatite, similar to that of bone, while the HA in ceramic is CO3-free; (d) electron diffraction of apatite of new material is similar to that of bone apatite. This study also demonstrated tha the new material associated with the HA ceramics.
