Description

Written by a highly respected and innovative surgeon, this book presents an unconventional implant treatment strategy for anterior esthetic restoration that has proven effective through years of clinical experience. In addition to reviewing biological principles, treatment planning, indications, aesthetic analysis and restorative options, the author focuses on factors such as gentle tooth extraction, precise implant positioning, criteria for one- and two-stage implant placement and, most importantly, a wide range of soft tissue management techniques. This book also presents techniques to improve the aesthetic outcome of any dental implant treatment, regardless of treatment strategy. With more than 4,000 clinical images and illustrations of all procedures and techniques discussed, this tour de force by a leader in implant dentistry raises the reader's awareness of the high demands of implant dentistry and how clinicians can achieve optimal results.
