AbstractOne key point for improving osseous integration of implants is to render them osteopromotive by specifically favoring the adhesion of osteoblasts. Mimicking the physiological adhesion process of osteoblasts to the extracellular matrix improves cell adhesion in vitro and results in improved and earlier osseous integration of implants in vivo. Our approach involves coating titanium implants with a tailor‐made cyclic‐RGD peptide, thus allowing them to bind to specific integrin receptors on the cell surface through multimeric phosphonates. The advantages of this very stable, new type of anchoring for practical application are presented.
