Short History of Dental Implants
The old dental implants were made from pieces of shell that were shaped like teeth. They were unearthed in Honduras in the 1930s by Dr. Wilson Popenoe, an archaeologist. Dental implants were also found among ancient Egyptian artifacts. Like the first one, the Egyptian implants were also made of shells and ivory.
Before the advent of modern implants, dentures were the only recourse for those with missing teeth due to accidents or disease. One popular denture maker was Paul Revere, an American silversmith and patriot in the American Revolution. Before taking his midnight ride and telling us that the British were coming, Revere worked as a dentist and tried to make the perfect dentures. While dentures have greatly improved since Paul's time, they still have a lot of problems.
Fortunately, things changed for the best when a Swedish professor named Per-Ingvar Branemark stumbled upon the concept of dental implants in 1951. The orthopedic surgeon and his team were studying the healing process of bones at the University of Lund when they screwed a titanium metal cylinder into the thigh bone of an animal test subject.
Later Branemark discovered that the metal cylinder had fused with the bone - a process that he called osseointegration. The professor began experimenting with this technique and this led to the birth of dental implants.
Since the 1980s, implants have become the ideal method of replacing one or more missing teeth. Over 800,000 patients have benefited from this technique. What's good about titanium is that it's not regarded as a foreign object by the body. This allows the implants to be fastened securely to the jawbone. The fixed dental implant looks, feels and functions like real teeth. Since it is attached to the jawbone, this is a solid replacement that won't slip, affect your appearance or limit what you eat.
