Implants have been used to support dental prostheses for many years but they have not always enjoyed a favourable reputation. With the advent of endosseous osseointegrated implants, this situation has radically changed so that every practitioner now needs to be informed about this growing area of dental practice. This book provides a thorough introduction to the subject as well as giving the reader a sense of the value to patient care that can be achieved using the techniques described and illustrated. The authors have considerable practical knowledge and experience in the subject to which the reader-friendly and pragmatic approach of the book bears witness. Not only are the essential elements of implants and their placement described but also the all-important preliminary considerations and treatment planning for the subsequent restoration are discussed in practical detail.

A dental implant is a surgical component that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, denture, facial prosthesis or to act as an orthodontic anchor. This book is a comprehensive guide to oral implantology for dental surgeons. Divided into nine sections, the text describes the latest surgical and restorative protocols, as well as procedures for achieving optimal aesthetic results, managing bone deficiency in the posterior maxilla and mandible, fixed and removable prosthetics, soft tissue grafting, and bone regeneration. Complications and their management are also discussed in depth. Authored by internationally recognised, authoritative experts in the field, the book is further enhanced by nearly 2500 photographs and illustrations.

This book is designed to guide the dental practitioner in the medical and surgical management of the oral surgery patient. It provides dentists and dental professionals with up-to-date, evidence-based information on how to handle any oral surgical problem and how to work up a patient. The book is divided into five sections, the first two of which present overviews of general and basic perioperative topics and the principles of exodontia. Management of oral pathology is then discussed in detail, covering odontogenic infections, osteonecrosis, preprosthetic surgery, common oral pathology, biopsy techniques, and dentoalveolar trauma. The fourth section is devoted to topics in advanced oral surgery, such as disturbances of the temporomandibular joint apparatus, facial deformities, and dental implants. Finally, a series of illustrative case reports and unusual surgical cases is presented. The book is multi-institutional and multispecialty based. Both editors have extensive academic experience and have authored numerous scientific publications.

This book describes the fusion of CBCT and CAD/CAM technologies for the purpose of surgical dental treatments and explains the advantages and applications of this digital approach for implant placement procedures and other oral surgical protocols. All aspects of computer-aided imaging and design are first covered in the textbook, including the creation of DICOM and STL files; followed by the process of virtual merging to obtain a combined image. Secondly, clinical tips for the use of digital wax up, software interactions and accurate template fabrication are explained, including subtractive and additive methods used for this manufacturing step. The remainder of the book is devoted to the application of technology fusion in implantology, guided bone regeneration, and maxillofacial surgery. Both static and dynamic guided surgeries are described. Materials characteristics and surgical instruments are also presented to define a correct selection criteria. The digital approach outlined in this textbook involves a paradigm shift in the way traditional oral surgery is conceived. Technology fusion aims to improve treatment accuracy, optimize clinical time and reduce patient morbidity. Clinicians will find this book to be a valuable guide for virtual surgical planning and a path to introduce themselves into the exciting world of digital dental surgery.

Basal Osseointegration as a procedure developed on the basis of disc implantology is the method most commonly used for the unilateral treatment of advanced maxillary atrophy. The method is extremely well developed, because it was refined over a period of decades exclusively by practitioners and become established independently of the universities. The treatment aim can be achieved safely, easily and at low cost. Principles of BOI is most practical and explains exactly how things work. It provides treatment plans, tricks and pitfalls and step-by step guidance.
