The field of dental implantology has undergone remarkable transformations over the decades. What once began as an experimental endeavor has now evolved into a highly predictable and evidence-based solution for edentulism. The journey from primitive tooth replacements to modern titanium-based implants signifies an extraordinary blend of science, technology, and clinical expertise. As we stand at the crossroads of innovation, it is essential to reflect on the past, assess the present, and envision the future of dental implantology.
