Description

This book has it all and can truly be considered the definitive textbook on implant-supported prosthetics. Like its predecessor, it serves as both a textbook for students and a reference book for practicing dentists. The authors aim to provide a prosthetic perspective to the various aspects of implant treatment, from the biological mechanisms of osseointegration to implant design, prosthetic design, maintenance and management of complications.

The book is organized into four sections and systematically leads the reader through the basic principles of implant treatment, to evaluation and restoration, through a variety of clinical situations and into more specialized topics and treatment scenarios. In addition, an illustrated downloadable glossary is available for easy reference.

New digital technologies and materials used to design and fabricate implant prostheses are an important focus, as are implant positioning, angulation and spacing in the current clinical situation. Design of implant-supported overdentures is described in detail, as well as the various bone and soft tissue reconstruction procedures currently used, especially in patients with unfavorable periodontal biotypes. The book also focuses on the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration to provide safe and effective results, making it a must-have to complement any dental library.
