title: [High voltage transmission electron microscope and X-ray double-crystal diffractometer observation of pure titanium implant-bone interface].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To examine the integration of pure titanium implant and bone tissue.
  
  
  METHODS
  Using low temperature dualion mill technique, the interface of titanium implant and bone was examined with high voltage transmission electron microscope and X-ray double crystal diffractometer.
  
  
  RESULTS
  It was shown that calium globules of various electron density or sheets of calcified osseous tissue blended with titanium at the interface. The bone had grown in two directions.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The integration of pure titanium implant and bone tissue is good, leaving no gap at their interface.
