As of 2011, a new mile stone has been reached; a total of 500 articles have been published in renowned peer-reviewed scientific journals. The articles have been written by authors from different countries all over the world, and have been scrutinized by an independent editorial board in the respective journal before being accepted for publication. The first article was published already in 1990 and Astra Tech is now celebrating the publication of article number 500 in April 2011.

As many as 48 articles reports from clinical, long-term follow-up studies on Astra Tech implants i.e. with 5 years or longer observation periods, and from a wide range of therapies, including implant insertion in extraction sockets, the application of early and immediate loading protocols. 

In view of this extensive scientific literature, the Astra Tech Implant System can be seen as one of the best documented implant system available on the market today.
