Abstract :
Two Ca-P ceramics (MBCP: macroporous biphasic calcium phosphate and Bonap: sintered bovine bone) were implanted in rabbit bone and were studied at days 3, 7, 14 and 21 after implantation. Resorption of the biomaterials and of the newly formed bone was observed from day 7. Two multi- nucleated cell types were involved in the resorption process: giant multinucleated cells (GMNC) and osteoclast-like cells (OLC).
