The in vitro reactions of mesenchymal cell populations on different powdery and cubical Al2O3 ceramic implants are described compared with those on glass. The ceramics differ because of different compounds and surface processing. The physiologic eluate of the contaminated ceramics induce no cytotoxic and no antiproliverative effect on the single layer population in vitro. The cells settle itself on the ceramic surface. They constidued a confluent cell layer about the whole surface by proliferation (morphogenetic reaction). No difference in the behaviour of the fibroblast-like cells was observed referable to the chemical compound or the surface of the Al2O3 ceramics. The aluminium oxide ceramic presents itself as an absolutely bioinert material despite of strong soiling.

Along with titanium, Al2O3 ceramic is currently one of the best materials for dental prostheses due to its biological inertness and peculiar strength. Various types of dental implants made of BionitR manufactured by the Hermsdorff ceramic plant are described, and the results of their clinical application are discussed.
