Untersuchungen über die Verwendbarkeit von Glaskeramiken zur Osteo-Odonto-Keratoplastik

Abstract
Preliminary investigations about the usefulness of glass ceramics in keratoplasty [in man] in a modification of Strampelli''s method were reported. Of the available implantation materials, glass ceramics seemed to be the best as they joined strongly to the bone and interstitial tissues. As glass ceramics were suitable for keratoplasty, the necessity of losing a tooth in osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (after Strampelli) can be avoided. Other advantages were standardization of the whole procedure, shortening of operation time and extension of indications for the operation.
