Nobel Biocare:
The pioneers of implantology
A story about heritage
Dental implantology, as we know it today, can be directly attributed to the pioneering work of Per-Ingvar Brånemark and Nobel Biocare.
In the 1950s, a single moment changed the course of dentistry forever. Professor Per-Ingvar Brånemark discovered the ability of bone to fuse with titanium, a process he called "osseointegration". Brånemark would later go on to place the world's first titanium dental implant in 1965. This breakthrough, subsequently supported by Nobel Biocare, not only gave patients new hope, but also laid the foundation for an entire industry, impacting careers of thousands of clinicians worldwide.
From skepticism to global innovation
"The bone anchoring of implants came as a complete surprise – one of these lucky accidents that open up completely new avenues of research."
