Abstract

The project aims analysis the ceramic material called Anorthite. The study is analysis the currency of phases transformations set before constant heating to be verified with dilatometric, microstructural characterization, high temperature metallographic tests. The methods of "in vitro" biocompatibility will be Agar Diffusion and Rapid colorimetric, that lead for the method of "in vivo" biocompatibility this will be accomplished implanting a pasty mass like filling material, in rats with weight and race controlled , for available the interactivity of material around of implant.
