## Abstract Skeletal bone consists of hydroxyapatite (HA) [Ca~10~(PO~4~)~6~(OH)~2~] and collagen type I, both of which are osseoconductive. The goal of osseointegration of orthopedic and dental implants is the rapid achievement of a mechanically stable long‐lasting fixation between bone and an impl
