Mechanical properties

At the beginning of their research work, the Doctors Camprasse focussed focused on the osseointegration properties of nacre as a bone substitute, with the aim of proposing an alternative to titanium dental implants. They then extended their research work to orthopaedic bone repair and regeneration.

Biocompatibility and angiogenesis

From 1994 onwards, Doctors Serge and Georges Camprasse experimented the spectacular effects of nacre on skin in the fields of dermatology, cosmetology and nutraceuticals.

Their experimentation in hospitals on critical clinical cases demonstrated spectacular repair and regeneration properties. For example, the skin’s healing process is accelerated in the presence of nacre. Cell turnover, which physiologically takes more or less 21 days, has been dramatically cut to between 8 to10 days.

Portrait of the Doctors Camprasse

Antenne 2 video archives

In this 1996 TV report the Doctors Camprasse briefly outline what makes their proposal for nacre dental implants a revolutionary one, and what the clinical benefits are for the patients. By 1996, the Doctors Camprasse had already fitted 324 nacre implants, either at their dental practice or in hospital.
