Revolution to Evolution and Back Again.
- Authors
Eckert, Steven E.
- Abstract
The author reflects on the impact that osseointegration and dental implants have had in dentistry. He mentions advances in dental implantation including the regeneration of bone, improved knowledge of healing following dental extractions and methods of reducing the number of implants without requiring bone grafting. He talks about how three-dimensional printing technology could soon be available at an affordable cost in dental offices for use in surgical guides.
