By introducing energy and its speed as novel indices, this study offers a more dynamic and functionally relevant framework for evaluating osseointegration. UV photofunctionalization not only accelerates early mechanical stability but amplifies energy acquisition at the bone–implant interface, promoting faster and more robust development of mechanical resilience.
