The following report summarises the first paper presented during the 50 years of clinical osseointegration - the early contributions and current effectiveness in implant dentistry session, at the EAO's 24th annual Scientific Meeting in Stockholm, 2015.
As is often the case with significant scientific developments, the early research that underpinned the development of osseointegrated implants occurred in several locations. Per-Ingvar Brånemark made the initial discovery and subsequently defined the term osseointegration, and as he began to publish his research, other centres conducted their own experiments into different aspects of this rapidly developing field. The three most important European foci of the early development of modern implant dentistry were Gothenburg, Bern and Tübingen. The first three speakers of this session discussed the work that was taking place in each of these centres. The final speaker went on to talk about the global consequences of implant therapy and its current impact and effectiveness.
In the late 1950s P-I Brånemark was working in the field of micro-circulation at the University of Lund, and it was the knowledge he gathered there that led to his later discovery. While studying micro-circulation in rabbit bone, he noticed that the device he had implanted was stable in the bone and he couldn't remove it. He saw the potential of this discovery, and three years later placed his first implant in a patient.
The initial results weren't very good, with a success rate of the order of 50% in the first five years. There was a strong academic struggle and Brånemark's ideas were initially considered dangerous. However, three independent Swedish professors subsequently wrote a positive statement about implants and opinion began to move in his favour.
The term osseointegration first appeared in a book in 1977, although Brånemark certainly claimed there was direct anchorage to bone beforehand. Initially, the limits of histology meant that he was not able to objectively demonstrate osseointegration.
P-I Brånemark was a brilliant clinical scientist who chose to explore the possibilities offered by osseointegration, rather than working on cellular research. Most of what he postulated in the 1960s was later verified, but not even he would have estimated the number of oral implants that are placed annually today. The official figure is 20 million, but some people say it is more. Either way it is an astonishing figure, and although he was convinced of his success he could not possibly have estimated the extent of that success.
This summary was prepared by the EAO Congress Scientific Report rapporteurs.
