Previous presidents
The European Association for Osseointegration (EAO) was founded in 1991. It was formed as an international, interdisciplinary and independent science-based forum for all professionals interested in the art and science of osseointegration.
Each president’s leadership, innovation, and commitment have shaped our journey and laid the foundation for the association’s growth and impact.
