Abstract
The arguments for and against three implant materials (polymethylmethacrylate, cobalt-chrome alloy, and titanium aluminium vanadium alloy) when used as interfaces between a loaded implant and bone are reviewed from mechanical and biologic standpoints. It is concluded that there is neither an overwhelming advantage nor a disadvantage for any one of them.
