Dental implants were developed in 1952 in the laboratory in the university town of Lund, Sweden Professor Per-Ingvar Brånemark, who had an accident "lucky" when searching for a bone graft. Alarmed, Dr. Brånemark discovered that it was impossible to recover any of the bone anchored titanium microscopes he was using. Titanium plates, probably due to live permanently bone observation that contradicted all scientific theory at that time.
Dr. Brånemark went on to demonstrate that under carefully controlled conditions, titanium could be structurally integrated into living bone with a high degree of predictability, and without long-term soft tissue inflammation or rejection. Brånemark coined "osseointegration," meaning the name of the attachment of titanium implants healthy bones.
Thus dental implants were born and the first application of dental osseointegration was the implantation of new titanium roots in an edentulous (toothless) patient in 1965. Dental implants have shown success rate of 90 percent, and long-term studies continue to show improving success.
Reasons you may consider dental implants:
To replace one or more teeth
To support a partial denture
Strengthen the support and stability of the upper or lower denture
To increase the comfort of chewing
To increase confidence while smiling, talking, and there is
To improve the overall health psychology
To improve the appearance and restore the confidence of all
