Early Implants
1809 Gold implant e.20th Lead, iridium, tantalum, stainless steel, and cobalt alloy 1913 hollow basket iridium + gold wires (Greenfield)
Early Implants
1937 Adamss submergible threaded cylindrical implant with round bottom 1938 Strocks (long term) threaded vitallium implant (cobalt+chrome+molybdenum) The modern implants appear to be variants or composites of some of the designs of early implants
Subperiosteal Implants
Placing implants on and around bone rather than in it 1943 Dahl of Sweden placed with 4 projecting posts Direct bone impression Cobalt-chrome-molybdenum casting CT-generated CAD-CAM model
Blade Implants
1967 Linkow blade implant-in narrow ridge Required shared support with natural teeth 1970 Roberts and Roberts Ramus blade implant (titanium)
Transosteal Implants
1975 Small introduced transosteal mandibular staple bone plate Limited to mandible only
Transosteal Implants
1970 1989 Cranin - single transosteal implant Bosker transmandibular implant
The First Dental Implant Consensus Conference, sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Harvard University in 1978, was a landmark event. Dental Implants: Benefits and Risks
The Toronto Conference opened the door to prompt widespread recognition of the Branemark implant. The discovery of osseointegration has been one of the most significant scientific break throughs in dentistry.
Present Status
Three Basic: In Bone Through Bone On Bone
In Bone
1. Ramus concepts (Harold and Ralph Roberts) 2. Pin concepts (J. Scialom Michelle Chercheve) 3. Disk concepts (Gerard Scorteci) 4. Plateform concepts (Harold + Roberts/Linkow) 5. Cylindrical or root form concepts
Present Status
Many other root-forms have been introduced. Body shaped competition Surface competition roughness Varieties competition Connection competition
Dental Implants
Implant material should have suitable mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and structural biostability in physiologic environments.
Dental Implants
The development of biomaterials sciences has resulted in classification schemes for implantable materials according to chemical composition and biologic response.
Biologic classification
Based on tissue response and systemic toxicity effects of the implant Biotolerant Bioinert Bioactive
