P I BRÅNEMARK

In March of 1985 P.I. Brånemark was operating in Long Beach, California. Dr. Howard Davis, Richard Berger, David Hochwald, Peter Moy, Robert Fontanesi, and Roy Yanase were observing an autogenous graft from the hip with simultaneous implant fixation to the edentulous maxilla. Professor Brånemark challenged the group to form a study club because there were so many applications of osseointegration that had yet been unexplored. The potential applications were bounded only by one's imagination.
