History of Dental Implants Flashcards
(2500 BC) tried to stabilize shifting or loose teeth with wire made of gold
Ancient Egyptians
(2000 BC) pegs carved from bamboo were used as replacement teeth
Ancient China
(1000 BC) copper pegs were hammered into the jawbone of an ____________________
Egyptian king
(500 BC) used the teeth extracted from slaves to replace those of the more worthy
Phoenicians
(500 BC) used gold bands to fix their teeth
Etruscans
(100 BC) people in different parts of the world replaced missing teeth with teeth from ___________ and ___________
animals and slaves
(600 AD) used seashells to replace missing teeth; used stones and metal inlays to decorate teeth
Mayans
(800 AD) stone implants came into favor in the _________ culture
Mayan/Honduran
(500 BC) wrote about the possibility of anchoring artificial teeth to the gums using gold or silk thread in order to replace extracted elements
Hippocrates
(100 AD) mentioned possibility of replacing a missing dental element by implanting a tooth taken from a cadaver
Cornelius Celsus
(936-1013) described procedures for replacing lost elements with other teeth made of bony fragments from large mammals
Abucalsis
noted that it was possible to replant teeth that had been ‘expelled from their sockets accidentally, tying them to the remaining teeth’
Ambroise Pare
1700s: ______________
modern history of implants
major obstacle to development of implants by innovators
inadequate biomaterials
inserted a gold implant tube in a fresh extraction site, allowing it to heal passively before adding a crown
Nancy Maggiolo
Nancy Maggiolo’s book holding descriptions of their implant process
Le Manuel de l’Art du Dentiste
(1800s) placed a dried tooth into an extraction socket
JM Younger
(1800s) implanted an extracted tooth and supported it with a rubber dam
Herbst
(1800s) used a porcelain post with a roughened lead surface to support a porcelain crown inserted into an artificial socket
SM Harris
(1800s) inserted gold or iridium tubes into an artificial socket
William Bonwill
(1900s) used metal pins to attach artificial teeth to a denture base
Giueseppe Angelo Fonzi
(1913) presented a paper describing how a hollow, latticed 24k gold cylinder could be used as an artificial root
EJ Greenfield
EJ Greenfield’s presented paper
Implantation of Artificial Crown and Bridge Abutments
(1920) designed a tubular extension implant conceptually similar to modern expendable screw; used 24k gold for the body and platinum for screw
Frenchman H. Leger-Dorez
failure of Frenchman H. Leger-Dorez’s “tubular extension” implant
rigid and forced beyond the endurance of living bone tissue
(1930s) experimented with vitallium orthopedic screws, implanting them in both dogs and human subjects to restore individual teeth
Alvin and Moses Strock
(1938) patented a cylindrical endosteal implant that was threaded on the inside and outside but smooth around the gum line
PB Adams
failure of the endosteal implant patented by PB Adams
extremely low biocompatibility of materials; lack of practical clinical demonstrations
(1940) designed a post-type endosseous implant whose spiral stainles steel or tantalum wires provided for the ingrowth of bone
Manlio S. Formiggini
(1940) modified the basic Formiggini spiral design to include a solid shaft
Perron Andres
(1960) developed a double-helical spiral implant made from cobalt and chromium
Raphael Chercheve
(1960) improved upon the design of Chercheve by adding threads to the internal shaft of the implant
Giordano Muratoni
(1963) innovated a vent-plant implant design and a blade implant originally designed to accommodate into knife-edge ridges where bone width was at a minimum
Leonard Linkow
(1980s) placed titanium chamber in femur of rabbit; coined the term “osseointegration”
Per-Ingvar Branemark
most biocompatible material for human bones
titanium
term coined by Dr. Per-Ingvar Branemark
osseointegration
(1980s) engaged in the development of dental implant system in the 70s and 80s
