ABSTRACT
This investigation has been stimulated by the Osseointegration Foundation, working in conjunction with the Zest Anchors implant company. There are three basic valuable activities that emerge from a professional foundation, which were reflected in this case study. They include disseminating information to practitioners, to persuade young clinicians to become research investigators, and to reach out to patients in need of treatment who cannot afford it without a charitable opportunity.

The Ben Massell Dental Clinic is part of the Jewish Family & Career Services in Atlanta, Georgia, which provides a wide range of health and social services on a sliding-fee basis. A fixed location, comprehensive service, and a clinic with full regular hours is an obvious benefit to patients. This structure also provides advantages to dentists who wish to donate their professional expertise without disrupting their offices and without the need to create a new logistic and management structure. Such a regular clinic also provides continuity of care in a charity setting.
