Old news! But nice and important..Manhattan Scientifics Chief Scientist Terry Lowe said, "The $2 billion annual dental implant wholesale market is 10% the size of the market for other medical devices (for example hips, spinal devices and cardiovascular stents) that can benefit from the advantages of our advanced metals."

The key manufacturers of dental implants include Nobel Biocare Holding AG (SWX:NOBN), Straumann Holding AG (SWX:STMN), Zimmer Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ZMH; SWX: ZMH), DENTSPLY International, Inc. (NasdaqGS: XRAY), Biomet, Inc. and Thommen Medical AG.

Manhattan Scientifics anticipates developing additional products based on this new titanium metal for use in orthopedics and stents.
