Titanium And Bone

The basis of implants is the property of titanium to react positively with bone. This property promotes bone growth around the titanium implant, holding it securely in place. This allows implants like hip replacements, bone supports and even tooth replacement. This property was first discovered by a swedish orthopaedic surgeon, Per Branemark in the 1950’s which he termed as osseointegration. From there, Branemark pursued studies into tooth implants and the very first human tooth implant was done in 1965. Since then there are many applications of titanium tooth implants developed and these processes have been delegated as dental procedures and are thus available to dentists, like dentists York, England.

There techniques and others are featured in the Cosmetic dentistry guide’s teeth whitening page posted in the internet.
