Veterinary Dentistry: Dr. Bergman recognized many veterinarians were placing dental implants designed for humans into small animals due to the similar size and shape shared by small animal and human tooth roots. These implants worked well in most areas of animal mouths except for the cuspid area which were much larger and having a more ovoid cross-section. In 2012, he designed the K9-1 and later the K9-2 dental implant systems for to replace cuspid teeth in small animals.
