Fig. 6. (a) Interfacial shear strength (fsh) as a function of the modulus of elasticity
of the bone (Eb) for a surface roughness consisting of identical repeating elements
as shown in Fig. 1b. Ra—1.5 pm, a—20°, implant diameter—4 mm, implant wall
thickness — 0.5 mm and bone support—3 mm. (b) Interfacial shear strength (fsh) as
