Literature References

Since the origination of the Nobel Biocare University of Michigan “Center For Excellence” numerous articles have appeared in the dental literature that report on the various areas of interest to the Center. Many of these reports have detailed investigations performed by distinguished clinicians and scientists that are not part of the Center but yet their work is deserving of being referenced in Website. Additionally, other studies performed by Center investigators are listed because they have been published in periodical and have withstood scientific scrutiny.
