Implant osseointegration has not been accepted over time, considering that in fact the implant integration is performed only in the soft tissue of the host. For this reason, the implant has never been sufficiently integrated into the host tissue immediately after insertion. Experiments performed in Branemark laboratories in the early 1960s, with a new type of implant, which required a direct anchorage to bone tissue for clinical function, this anchorage was called osseointegration. It has been shown that it is possible to achieve direct osseointegration if the Branemark method is considered, which was published a few years later in the first clinical report. The authors of this article come up with new contributions that validate the implant osseointegration process. Inside this article we present our methodology for evaluating the osseointegration of endosseous implants: ESEM (environmental scanning electron microscope) studies of the implant-bone tissue interface.
