“The results of the study are very encouraging. Artimplant's operating focus is orthopedics and consequently we have decided not to expand our own sales in the dental area. We are therefore investigating other business alternatives for Artelon® Cosmetic.”
A post-market study has been conducted by the Brånemark Clinic in Gothenburg on Artelon® Cosmetic for soft tissue augmentation in the upper jaw. The study confirms that patients with tissue defects can be treated successfully with Artelon® Cosmetic.
Dr. Bertil Friberg, who conducted the study at the Brånemark Clinic, states: "Artelon® is an interesting material for dental applications. In this particular study we demonstrate that Artelon® Cosmetic integrates well with body tissue and volume augmentation is maintained over time."
Hans Rosén comments: "The results of the study are very encouraging. Artimplant's operating focus is orthopedics and consequently we have decided not to expand our own sales in the dental area. We are therefore investigating other business alternatives for Artelon® Cosmetic."
