Per-Ingvar Brånemark's seminal osseointegration research led to its global launch in May 1982 at the Toronto Conference on Tissue Integrated Prostheses. The resultant worldwide trajectory of its clinical application ensured exciting and continuing synergies between clinical disciplines and the world of biomaterials; and the ensuing years have also seen numerous clinical scientists coloring in novel additional details to the technique with a resultant and exciting expansion of its versatility and application.
Ongoing research continues to nurture and expand clinical applications of osseointegration and this 30th Anniversary Symposium offers presentations from some of the best minds in clinical dentistry. Our invited lecturers from the international community of dental scholars will synthesize current information on what is best and safest in providing treatment with dental implants; and in the necessary context of patient-mediated concerns regarding optimal outcomes.
