Abstract
Hydroxyapatite coatings have been used on metallic substrates in a variety of applications, including modifying the surface of human implants, bone osseointegration and biological fixation. In this paper, the effects of various kinds of metallic substrate on clinical and pathological results of in vivo tests are presented. Four kinds of endodontic implants i.e, stainless steel, cobalt base alloy, plasma sprayed hydroxyapatite coated stainless steel, plasma sprayed hydroxyapatite coated cobalt base alloy were prapared and implanted in mandibular canine of
cats. After a healing period of 4 months, investigation by SEM and histopathological interpretation and evaluation showed significant differences in tissue response and osseointegration between coated and non-coated metallic implants. It was concluded that the results were affected by the kind of metallic substrate .

Abstract
Reductive leaching was used to dissolve metals, especially cobalt, present in Fars Tidar mine,. In this paper, cobalt ore was leached with sulphuric acid in the presence of phenol to determine the effects of various factors on leaching. These factors included temperature, acid concentration, time, phenol content, pulp density, and interaction between some of the parameters. The results indicated that temperature was more effective on SN ratio (Signal to Noise ratio) which was found to be about 80%. The effecst of time and acid concentration on SN ratio were also determined at about 8% and 4 %, respectively. Although the effect of phenol content on cobalt leaching was too low but dissolution of cobalt decreased in the absence of phenol. Therefore, it was concluded that phenol was one of the factors in effective the leaching process. Anyway, three parameters
including temperature, acid concentration, and time were selected as more effective parameters. Consequently optimum conditions can be obtained with high levels content of temperature, acid concentration, and time with low levels of phenol and pulp density.
