Abstract (EN): The aim of the study was to evaluate the direct bone bonding and osteointegration of the commercial pure (cp Ti) implants coated with Bonelike (R) synthetic bone graft by plasma spraying. The Bonelike (R) coated implant was placed in the mandible of a 40-year-old patient and it was removed after a healing period of 3 months with a trephine of 6 mm diameter. The structure of the coating and new bone/implant interface of retrieved samples were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and histological analysis using light microscopy. In vivo microstructure observations of Bonelike (R) coated retrieved implants showed excellent bone remnants on its surface without any tissue and inflammatory signs observed. The reported Bonelike (R) coated (cp Ti) implants improved primary stability, which may increase the lifetime of the implant. Bonelike (R) coated dental implants proved to be highly bioactive with extensive new bone formation and strongly bonded to Bonelike (R) coating.
