Immunocytochemical staining of the osteoblasts cultivated on the surface of the implants showing the expression of osteopontin (OP). Osteoblasts were stained with an anti OP-FITC monoclonal antibody on day 3, 14 and 21 days (magnification 100×). Legend: non-infiltrated control Ti (Ti control), titanium infiltrated with hydroxyapatite (Ti HA), Ti infiltrated with silicatitanate (Ti SiO2).
