The award involves a selection process by which members of the Osseointegration Foundation’s Titanium Society propose distinguished candidates.
Dr. Daniel Buser, professor and chairman at the department of oral surgery at the University of Bern in Switzerland, becomes the sixth recipient of the Nobel Brånemark Osseointegration Award.
