Description
Professor Albrektsson and Professor Branemark changed the face of modern dentistry forever. The distinguished clinicians and researchers are the fathers of the modern implant used today, first introduced to the world in the 1960’s. In this exclusive interview with Global Dental Mentorship, Dr. Lesley David had the chance to hear from Professor Albrektsson how a medical doctor and an orthopaedic surgeon serendipitously developed the dental implant. The conversation evolved to our current state with dental implants, and Dr. David had a chance to ask where we’re heading.
