Dental Implant Surface Treatments: What You Need to Know
When considering the factors that can affect dental implant success both long and short term, one of the most crucial is undoubtedly the implant’s surface.
Spotlight on surface innovation: Video presentation
Prof. Albrektsson explains the evolution in implant surface knowledge and research, and why implant anodization has been developed even further by Nobel Biocare.
Why abutment surface matters for soft tissue health
As many of us already know, dental implants are designed to facilitate an optimal level of osseointegration. However, there’s another factor that is also of...
“Some people claim implants are just commodity products…I fear this is a major threat to implants today.” Why company-organized research matters for greater knowledge in implantology.
Prof. Tomas Albrektsson, MD, PhD, ODhc, RCPSG began working on dental implants with Per-Ingvar Brånemark in 1967 and has since published many papers on osseointegration....
How do hydrophilic surfaces speed up the healing process?
A considerable number of studies have shown that cells attach better to hydrophilic surfaces than to hydrophobic surfaces. But what, exactly, is hydrophilicity? Here, we...
