The invention relates to a metallic implant, which has
vitreous-crystalline bioactive material on the surface thereof. According
to the invention, a metallic implant base body arranged on the surface of
the particles has a bioactive, vitreous-crystalline material consisting
of 15-45 wt. % CaO, 40-45 wt. % P.sub.2O.sub.5, 10-40 wt. % ZrO.sub.2 and
0.7-3.5 wt. % fluoride, having apatite and calcium zirconium phosphate as
main crystalline and a glass phase as an auxiliary component. Said
vitreous crystalline material contains at least 35 wt. % main crystal
phases and at least 5-15 wt. % auxiliary compounds. All of the percentage
data is expressed in relation to the total weight of the vitreous
crystalline material and the particle size of the vitreous crystalline
material is between 60-350 .mu.m.
