Skulle Implants Oy

Skulle Implants was established in 2011 to commercialize innovations and research findings concerning bioactive glasses and the successful use of fiber-reinforced composites in dentistry. Fundamental research of bioactive glasses was carried out at the University of Turku and Abo Akademi University in Finland already in the 1980s. Following the intensive composite material research at the Institute of Dentistry, University of Turku in the late 1990s, the introduction of dental fiber-reinforced composites for clinical and commercial use created a solid foundation for a completely new type of bone surgery implants based on the GLACETM technology. The technology and unique production of implants combine the benefits of durable and imaging-compatible fiber-reinforced composites and the bone forming capability of bioactive glasses. As a result, medical implantology has shifted from metal-containing implants to novel high-tech composite implants of individual anatomic design and contour. ...
