The bio-active structure of the Ossean surface is developed by impregnating calcium phosphate into the implant surface, developing a fractal structure that mirrors its design at all levels of magnification.1,2,3 This surface can facilitate fibril attachment, platelet deposition and osteoblast development.4 These functions can favorably alter the genetic expression of localized cells and induce faster healing of the implants.

Fractal Surface

Blasting of the implant develops a fractal type surface, with surface roughness even at the nano-scale.
