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.
