When an innovation is inspired by design, it transcends technology and utility. The design delights the user, seamlessly integrating the physical object, a service, and its use into something whole. A design-inspired innovation is so simple that it becomes an extension of the user. It creates meaning and a new language.Design-Inspired Innovation takes a unique look at the intersection between design and innovation, and explores the novel ways in which designers are contributing to the development of products and services. The book's scope is international, with emphasis on design activities in Boston, England, Sweden, and Milan. Through a rich variety of cases and cultural prisms, the book extends the traditional design viewpoint and stretches the context of industrial design to question — and answer — what design is really all about. It gives readers tools for inspiration, and shows how design can change language and even create human possibilities.

La mise au point de micro-implants appliqu s l'orthodontie a t l'une des avanc es th rapeutiques importantes de la fin du XXe si cle.Au milieu du si cle dernier, le Dr Per-Ingvar Branemark a introduit le concept d'"ost oint gration" en observant que le titane adh rait fermement l'os.Depuis, de nombreux chercheurs et cliniciens ont tent de mettre au point des appareils permettant d'int grer le concept d'ancrage absolu dans le traitement orthodontique. Kanomi a t le premier publier un syst me de micro-implant utilis sp cifiquement en orthodontie en 1997.L'utilisation de micro-implants a permis de r soudre de mani re plus simple certains cas cliniques qui, autrement, n cessiteraient plus de temps de traitement et une plus grande complexit . D'autre part, ils ont permis de traiter les patients qui ne collaborent pas suffisamment l'utilisation d'appareils extra-oraux ou d' lastiques.

Lo sviluppo di microimpianti applicati all'ortodonzia stato uno dei pi importanti progressi nella terapia alla fine del XX secolo.A met del secolo scorso, il dottor Per-Ingvar Branemark introdusse il concetto di "osteointegrazione" basandosi sull'osservazione che il titanio aderiva saldamente all'osso.Da allora molti ricercatori e clinici hanno cercato di sviluppare apparecchi che permettessero di incorporare il concetto di ancoraggio assoluto nel trattamento ortodontico. Kanomi stato il primo a pubblicare un sistema di microimpianti utilizzato specificamente in ortodonzia nel 1997.L'uso dei microimpianti ha permesso di risolvere in modo pi semplice alcuni casi clinici che altrimenti avrebbero richiesto tempi di trattamento pi lunghi e maggiore complessit . D'altra parte, hanno permesso di trattare quei pazienti che presentano una collaborazione insufficiente nell'uso di apparecchi o elastici extraorali.

Die Entwicklung von Mikroimplantaten f r die Kieferorthop die war einer der wichtigsten Fortschritte in der Therapie am Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts.Jahrhunderts. Mitte des letzten Jahrhunderts f hrte Dr. Per-Ingvar Branemark das Konzept der "Osseointegration" ein, das auf der Beobachtung beruhte, dass Titan fest am Knochen haften bleibt.Seitdem haben viele Forscher und Kliniker versucht, Ger te zu entwickeln, die es erm glichen, das Konzept der absoluten Verankerung in die kieferorthop dische Behandlung zu integrieren. Kanomi war der erste, der 1997 ein speziell in der Kieferorthop die eingesetztes Mikroimplantatsystem ver ffentlichte.Die Verwendung von Mikroimplantaten hat es erm glicht, einige klinische F lle, die sonst mehr Behandlungszeit und gr ere Komplexit t erfordern w rden, auf einfachere Weise zu l sen. Andererseits haben sie die Behandlung von Patienten erm glicht, die bei der Verwendung von extraoralen Apparaturen oder Gummiz gen nicht ausreichend mitarbeiten.

The development of micro-implants applied to orthodontics was one of the important advances in therapy at the end of the 20th century.In the middle of the last century, Dr. Per-Ingvar Branemark introduced the concept of "osseointegration" based on the observation that titanium adhered firmly to the bone.Since that time, many researchers and clinicians have tried to develop appliances that allow the concept of absolute anchorage to be incorporated into orthodontic treatment. Kanomi, who in 1997 was the first to publish a system of micro-implants used specifically in orthodontics, stands out.The use of micro-implants has made it possible to solve in a simpler way, some clinical cases that otherwise required more treatment time and greater complexity. On the other hand, they have made it possible to treat patients with insufficient collaboration in the use of extraoral appliances or elastics.
