HISTORY OF IMPLANTS 
The Ancient era
2500 BC Egypt: They stabilized teeth that were periodontally compromised with golden wire wire ligature
The first evidence of dental implants in Mayan civilization (600 AD), they used shells as implants to replace mandibular teeth
800 AD in Honduras, a stone was placed in the mandible to replace a missing tooth
2000 BC in China, they used bamboo pegs to fill empty spaces where teeth were lost
500 BC, Phoenicians, use gold wire to stabilize teeth
300 AD, Phoenicians, used teeth carved out of ivory wrapped by a gold wire to create a fixed bridge

Pre- Modern Era
-
1903: Sholl in Pennsylvania, implanted porcelain tooth which was having a corrugated porcelain root
1913 Dr Edward J. Greenfield, placee a hollow cylinder of iridio-platinum soldered with gold as an artificial root that fit into the incision he made, then he screwed the crown to the root, it was called the "Greenfield cage"

Branemark era
Swedish VS Swiss Shools
Schoreder
- Favored non submerged, transmucosal healing because the prototype implants tested were all made as one-piece implants with the abutment being an integral part of the implant
- First to examine the tissue integration of various implant materials
Branemark
- Started experiments with comercially pure titanium fixtures in root form in early 1960´s
- 1978, Dr Branemark presented a two stage threaded titanium root-form implant
- Introduced the term "Osseointegration"
- Titanium screw-type implants with a machined surface
Implants in 21st century
Ceramics in dental implants were used for surgical implant devices because of their inert behavior good strength, and physical properties such as minimum thermal and electrical conductivity
This kind of implants are made from zirconium oxide, and there is no concern of corrosion, allergic reaction or electronic interference
Medieval period
1700, Dr Hunter suggested transplanting teeth from one human to another.
He made an experiment implanting incompletely developed tooth into the comb of a rooster, while he observes that the tooth became firmly integrated into the comb of the rooster and most astonishing the blood vessel of the rooster got into the pulp of the tooth
1728 Pierre Fauchard, showed that to reimplant a tooth, the recipient had to be of young age, healthy gingiva and the transplant had to be as quickly as possible
