while collagen was oriented parallel to the implant surface, "biological apatite" was perpendicular to the surface [1,4]. More recently, evidence has emerged that bone-bonding is a predominantly mechanical phenomenon. Osborn suggested that bonding osteogenesis was a function of the micro- and ultra-dimensions of the implant surface [5]. Drawing on his observations that bone cell processes were able to "invade" hydroxyapatite ceramics, and the earlier work of Woodard et al [6], microporosities (
