Since their conception in the 1960s, dental implants have evolved into a predictable solution for replacing missing teeth. Many of these advances have come from an improved understanding of osseointegration and material sciences, most notably recognising the inherent biocompatibility of titanium. This has allowed researchers and clinicians to focus upon achieving better functional and aesthetic outcomes. This paper describes the evolution from the original concepts to current practice in dental implantology and considers some of the challenges to success facing clinicians and patients today.
自20世纪60年代牙种植体诞生以来，它已发展成为一种可预测的缺失牙替代解决方案。其中许多进展源于对骨结合和材料科学的深入理解，最显著的是认识到钛固有的生物相容性。这使得研究人员和临床医生能够专注于实现更好的功能和美学效果。本文描述了牙种植学从最初概念到当前实践的演变，并探讨了当今临床医生和患者面临的一些成功挑战。
