WORLD CONFERENCE 2003 IN RETROSPECT

The Magic TiUnite™ Surface

Abstract
This course provided participants with an overview of the science and documentation behind the TiUnite™ surface. The TiUnite surface has been shown to be "osteoinductive" in the sense that bone starts to form directly on the surface after implant insertions. This makes the implant stable during bone healing and helps the healing process to take place even under challenging conditions. This surface represents a breakthrough in implant dentistry and means a "true" difference when you apply immediate implant loading. This course demonstrated what this means to you in your daily practice.
