Purpose:
The surface properties of dental implants have been considered directly related to the success of the osseointegrated interface. Hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated implants promote a bioactive surface because they facilitate cellular migration and bone growth, resulting in a faster osseointegration.
Materials And Methods:
This study analyzed and compared 2 different implant surfaces: a group composed of titanium implants and another group coated with HA. The HA coating was produced by the biomimetic process to reduce costs.
Results And Conclusions:
After histomorphometric analyses it was possible to demonstrate that there were no statistically significant differences between the groups.
