“This is in line with my own experience,” says Wilfried Wagner, Professor and Head of the Clinic of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University of Mainz. “The Astra Tech implant system offers great possibilities for treating patients with poor jawbone quality because it increases safety and predictability. When you are working at the margins this makes a big difference.”
