[Osseointegrated endosseous implants, University of Liège concepts. Various clinical applications].

Based on fundamental experimental studies performed by the research teams of Professor Bränemark (Göteborg, Sweden), the use of dental implants has become a scientifically accepted treatment concept in Dentistry to replace lost or missing teeth in fully and partially edentulous patients. The use of dental implants was initiated by the discovery that dental implants made of titanium can be anchored in the jawbone with direct bone contact (osseointegration).
