plant surface is backed by more five- and ten-year studies than implant surfaces from the majority of competitors. When it comes to supporting evidence, Nobel Biocare implants have the advantage. How can the findings of this meta-analysis be used to optimise clinical practice? I think that we have to strive for continuous im- provement. In the 1800s if you had 19 per cent mor- tality with appendicitis cases you were better than the average doctor. Today such a mortality rate would see you lose your license because we have new techniques. It is a similar story with dental im- plants—we have to constantly challenge what we think of now as the ultimate implant solution in order to have even better solutions for patients in future. It is a continuing mission and I know that Nobel Biocare is involved in a number of studies with a view to making further improvements. I think this is ex- actly the right approach because the ideal situation is that we have 100 per cent survival and success rate at ten years. We are not there yet, but that is the goal. You have been involved with research evaluating Nobel Biocare implants for many years. Have the findings of your analysis changed your percep- tion of the TiUnite surface in any way? The meta-analysis is another validation of TiUnite’s efficacy, but there is confirmation of its high performance also in other types of clinical studies. Meta-analysis offers high-quality insight, but you need a wide range of supporting evidence, and TiUnite is backed not just by prospective studies, as we examined, but by retrospective research and other study types as well. The statements we make about TiUnite implants today can therefore be made with great confidence. Fig. 2 I observed TiUnite being launched in the year 2000. I believed in it then and now I know that my beliefs were correct. It is a superb implant surface._ Literature 1 Karl, M and Albrektsson, T.
