Per-Ingvar Branemark, Dental Innovator, Dies at 85 - by Tamar Lewin/ Health/ International New York Times/ The New York Times.com

"Dr. Per-Ingvar Branemark, a Swedish orthopedic surgeon and research professor whose accidental discovery made him the father of the modern dental implant, died on Dec. 20 in Gothenburg, Sweden, his hometown. He was 85...

...Implants have been a major advance in dentistry, liberating millions of elderly people from painful, ill-fitting dentures, a diet of soft foods and the ignominy of a sneeze that sends false teeth flying out of the mouth. But addressing those problems was not Dr. Branemark’s initial intent..."

I'm a beneficiary of Dr. Branemark's pioneering work - I received 4 dental implants this year and eating is so much more pleasurable now.
