The origin of PLATON

To restore lost teeth has been a desire of people since ancient civilizations. There are records of various efforts since ancient times, such as the discovery of iron implants in the upper jaw bone in the human bones of the Roman Empire in the 2nd and 3rd centuries A.D. Modern implants have their origins in Europe.
