Abstract

This review summarizes the articles published by Georg Watzek and coworkers between 2008 and 2012. Georg Watzek has always been not only an inspiring mentor but also a visioner in his field. He has (co)authored more than 200 scientific papers in renowned international scientific journals and edited 9 books. Prof. Georg Watzek and his 150 coworkers have been cited over 2,500 times, clearly reflecting the high scientific impact of the publications. More than 80 % of the work constitutes original articles with thematic issues concentrating mainly on implant osseointegration and bone regeneration. This review provides a short summary of the projects that forms the basis of ongoing research.
