It was introduced in the 1970 ́s in the field of dentistry by Swedish Professor Per-Inge Brånemark who implanted titanium dental fixtures in the jaw. He then proceeded to develop titanium implants to anchor hearing aids to the skull with Dr Anders Tjellström, a Swedish ENT surgeon 1 . The system comprises an osseointegrated implant, an abutment, and a processor (Figures 1a, b).
