Prof Per Ingvar Branemark"A decisive factor in patient care is simplification of dental treatment, which should be based on identifying and utilising the enormous capacity of the existing anchoring tissue. When possible, one should avoid unnecessary advanced and complicated major grafting procedures" (Prof Per Ingvar Branemark 2012)"Surgery is not cutting, but a gentle handling of mother nature gifts" P-I Branemark (Gothenburg 2012)Per Ingvar Branemark, thank you for changing the world of dentistry
