The samples were distributed equally over two healing intervals 6 and 12 weeks, in everyhealing interval each tibia bone(right and left) of 6 rabbits received two samples, control and experimental.Results: After each healing interval two tests were performed: Mechanical (Removal Torque) and Histological tests.Mechanical test showed that the mean torque values for HA&BSO coated implants were significantly higher thanthose for implants coated with HA only. Also the histological analysis revealed improved quality of bone response toimplants coated with HA&BSO.Conclusions: HA and BSO extract produced a couple of synthetic and natural biomaterials act in harmony andcomplementary to each other in enhancing healthy and strong bony integration of cp Ti implants
