Dental Implants under Scrutiny: Facts and Data on the Quality Deficiencies of a Medical Device

No patient or dentist expects new and sterile packaged implants to be contaminated. However, recent quality assessments of hundreds of implants prove the opposite. In this 18-minute TED-style talk Dr. Dirk U. Duddeck, dentist, guest researcher at the Charité University Clinic Berlin and Head of Research at the CleanImplant Foundation, Germany, presents disturbing results of current research. Considerable residues, plastic contaminants, and metallic foreign particles have been revealed in a large number of dental implants. Inflammatory processes, bone loss, and even the loss of implants can be potential consequences of uncontrolled foreign body reactions. The video not only describes possible implications for patients and practitioners but also provides information on how to reduce such risks. More information: www.cleanimplant.org #cleanimplant
