Abstract

The article highlights the history of the discovery of the phenomenon of “osteointegration” by the Swedish professor of anatomy and orthopedic surgeon Dr. Per-Ingvar Branemark. In the process of long-term research, dental implants and successful methods of treatment of adentia, proven in practice, were developed. The principles and conditions for the effectiveness of the dental implantation technique, developed by Dr. Branemark, are given. This discovery made a revolution in dental implantology, and also allowed to significantly expand the reconstructive possibilities of prosthetics in orthopedic surgery.
