• Osseointegration was first observed-albeit not explicitly stated-by Bothe, Beaton, and Davenport in 1940. (wikipedia.org)
  • The reactions described by Leventhal and Bothe et al. (wikipedia.org)
  • BrÃ¥nemark called this "osseointegration", and, like Bothe et al. (wikipedia.org)
  • Osseointegration (from Latin osseus "bony" and integrare "to make whole") is the direct structural and functional connection between living bone and the surface of a load-bearing artificial implant ("load-bearing" as defined by Albrektsson et al. (wikipedia.org)
  • defines osseointegration as "functional ankylosis (bone adherence)", where new bone is laid down directly on the implant surface and the implant exhibits mechanical stability (i.e., resistance to destabilization by mechanical agitation or shear forces). (wikipedia.org)
  • Research on implant surface topography has been of major focus and new surfaces are constantly applied on implants (7) in an attempt to accelerate osseointegration rates. (dentalmedjournal.it)
  • Osseointegration has enhanced the science of medical bone and joint replacement techniques as well as dental implants and improving prosthetics for amputees. (wikipedia.org)
