Question

First clinical study of osseontegration

Answer 1

Osseointegration (from Latin ossum "bone" 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. in 1981). A more recent definition (by Schroeder et al.) defines osseointegration as "functional ankylosis(bone adherence)", where new bone is laid down directly on the implant surface and the implant exhibits mechanical stability (also known as primary stability – i.e., resistance to destabilization by mechanical agitation or shear forces). Osseointegration has enhanced the science of medical bone and joint replacement techniques as well as dental implants and improving prosthetics for amputees.
