| Abstract | Hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings have been applied to improve adhesion of non-cemented implants to host bone. Plasma spraying is the most common technique leading to thick calcium phosphate films (>120μm). Pulse laser deposition (PLD), is a possible alternative method to obtain thin (<10 μm), well adherent hydroxyapatite (HA) films. Similarly to synthetic HA, biological apatites contain Ca 2+, PO
