Description

When osseointegration was first introduced by Brånemark as a treatment to replace the natural dentition, it was accepted as a suitable and predictable solution for young and middle-aged edentulous patients. No one foresaw the positive results and high level of patient acceptance that this treatment would bring. The decision whether to save a tooth or place an implant is one that the implant clinician makes based on past experience, recently approved treatment methods and the best interests of the patient. The high quality and timeliness of this book will serve as an important tool for implant clinicians in this regard. The editors have engaged leading thinkers in surgery and prosthetics to share their experiences, from prevention to replacement. The text provides up-to-date knowledge for achieving predictable treatment outcomes and managing peri-implantitis solutions and should have a place in every dental library.
