All about GBR at all levels. Expand your treatment indications and/or refine your surgical techniques.

With each passing decade, more research is being done on GBR and more surgeons are starting to adopt the practice with great results. Prof Daniel Buser has assembled a team of the best names in implant surgery to create a comprehensive guide on the materials, indications, techniques, timing and results of GBR. The book begins with the scientific basis for bone regeneration, describing how bone and soft tissue will respond under different conditions, before reviewing different indications and methods for GBR applications based on the given clinical situation. How to properly time and organize grafting, implantation and prosthetic therapy is thoroughly covered.

Cases are presented where each patient's bone regeneration is documented from start to finish, often with long-term follow-ups of 10 years or more. Emphasis is placed on incision and flap design; selection, handling and placement of membranes; the combination of. Membranes with autogenous bone grafts and bone substitutes; and suturing technique. This book opens up opportunities for practitioners who want to offer implant therapy to a wider range of patients, for GBR veterans who want to learn more advanced techniques, and for implant surgeons who want to keep abreast of the latest research and technology in GBR.
