Glass ceramic composites -- to be used for coatings on titanium implants -- based on leucite glass with elevated flux content and added hydroxyapatite or a mixture of hydroxyapatite and fluorite are examined. It is established that pastes containing no more than 30% hydroxyapatite in leucite glass are the best materials for denture coatings. Pastes with a higher content of hydroxyapatite Ca^sub 10^(PO^sub 4^)^sub 6^(OH)^sub 2^(> 30%) are recommended for coatings on intramaxillary titanium implants.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
