Now in a new 2nd edition, Contemporary Implant Dentistry is organized to follow the thought process that the practitioner goes through when planning and implementing an implant reconstruction.

Description:

Implants are increasingly used by the dental profession to replace missing teeth or upgrade existing removable dentures. Contemporary Implant Dentistry, written by the foremost dental implantologist in the United States, reviews the most popular implant systems.

This comprehensive book focuses on patient selection, diagnosis, treatment, and management, including long-term follow-up care.

Features:

Emphasizes patient selection, work-up and treatment planning with several approaches that may benefit the special needs of a patient.

Prosthetic chapters range from the restoration of a implant to full mouth rehabilitation. Over dentures, implant occlusion (fixed and removable) and maintenance are also presented.

Covers complications, infections and retreatment of implant surgery to show the general practitioner how to deal with treatment failures.

Biomaterials, biomechanics, anatomy and physiology chapters explain what is occurring at cellular and functional levels to help predict success or failure.
