The European Association of Osseointegration (EAO) is a non-profit organisation founded in Munich in 1991 following on the recommendations made by an international group of clinicians and research workers.

It was formed as an international, interdisciplinary and independent science based forum for all professionals interested in the art and science of osseointegration.

Bridging the gap between science and clinical practice, EAO aims to improve the quality of patient care as the leading voice and resource centre in the field of implant dentistry in Europe.

The objectives of the EAO are the following :

• To promote and facilitate clinical applications of osseointegration for the benefit of patients throughout the world.
   
• To promote the advancement of methods of treatment in reconstructive surgery and prosthetic rehabilitation based on the principles of osseointegration and related disciplines.
   
• To promote and initiate research into improved clinical procedures for rehabilitation as a consequence of osseointegration.
   
• To promote international exchange of knowledge and understanding of the techniques and research in the field of osseointegration and related disciplines.
   
• To promote the publication of research findings and other materials as part of continuing education for the benefit of members and interested organizations.
