Per-Ingvar Brånemark

Per-Ingvar Brånemark was a Swedish orthopedic surgeon and researcher who pioneered the development of osseointegration—a process where titanium implants bond directly with bone. His work revolutionized dental and reconstructive surgery by enabling secure attachment of artificial teeth and prosthetics to the jawbone. This breakthrough provides stable, long-lasting solutions for individuals needing dental implants or limb replacements, greatly improving quality of life. Brånemark’s discoveries laid the foundation for modern implant dentistry and prosthetic techniques, making complex restorations more predictable and effective.
