Dr. Leonard Linkow was born in Brooklyn, New York on February 25, 1926.
He placed his first dental implant in 1952, four months after he
graduated from dental school. By 1992, Dr. Linkow had placed over
19,000 dental implants and stopped counting. He retired from private
practice in 2002 leaving a body of work that included 12 books and 36
patents. Many implant dentists around the world refer to Dr. Leonard
Linkow as the father of modern implant dentistry.
Understanding implant dentistry today requires an historical
perspective. One may discover that some innovations today are really 30
years old. The two-volume text, Maxillary Implants and Mandibular
Implants, was published in 1977.
