Abstract
An improved method for producing endosseous implants by thermally spraying a ceramic material onto the surface of a metallic titanium core material which is previously subjected to a surface oxidation treatment, which can yield implants which have excellent characteristics of both of the metallic material and ceramic material and do not dissolve out harmful metal ions. The endosseous implants are useful for implantation in various bones including tooth roots and joints in living bodies.
