Cell-to-cell Communication: Osseointegration

Placing a titanium implant sets in motion a biological sequence the clinician never gets to see with their own eyes. This 3D animation follows it through its four phases and shows the cells, mediators and transmitters that turn a surgical site into an osseointegrated interface. The DVD-ROM comes with a booklet containing the scientific documentation, the script and a questionnaire. Created by Bernd Stadlinger and Hendrik Terheyden, it works well as a teaching resource and as visual support for explaining to the patient what happens beneath the mucosa while it heals. In English.
