Top Dental Clinics In Dubai

The edentulous patient is an amputee, an oral invalid, to whom we should pay total respect and rehabilitation ambitions”. Per-Ingvar Brånemark

As a professor of surgery and research, P-I Brånemark is considered the father of modern dental Implantology. In the early 50’s he discovered the process of osseointegration, which later was referred to as the direct structural and functional connection between living bone and the surface of a load-bearing artificial implant.

This discovery was a result of a series of vital microscopic experiments on blood in mobile tissues, bone and bone marrow by placing titanium optic chambers in rabbit’s tibia. Later it was discovered it was extremely difficult to remove these chambers for further use after a period of healing.

Since then Brånemark and his team conducted numerous research aimed at Orthopedics, joint replacements, plastic surgery and tumor defects. In 1965 Brånemark treated the first human patient Gösta Larsson with titanium dental implants who was missing teeth as a result of jaw deformities. Larsson passed away in 2006 and used his implants for more than 40 years.

Today the rehabilitation of patients with oral, Maxillo facial and orthopedic impairments has been accepted and adopted by the international community and through a worldwide collaboration and ongoing research and advancements we have gained enormous knowledge for treating our patients. These advancements have allowed the clinicians to apply load-bearing implants with teeth the day of the surgery and this has had a remarkable impact into the quality of the patient’s lives.

In 1989 Professor Brånemark founded the first TheBrånemark Osseointegration Center (BOC) in Gothenburg, Sweden (www.branemark.com). BOC’s principal task was to offer management for patients with severe oral, maxillo-facial and orthopedic disablements. There are only 10 such clinics in the world and in the June of 2013 due to its excellence in dental implant treatment the Dubai BOC, was founded by Dr Cotsas and Dr. Petros. This demonstrates a milestone of progress for the health system in Dubai being able to host a BOC in the Middle East.
