Synopsis
Provides descriptions of Maxillofacial surgical methods/techniques for more demanding clinical situations, including relevant fundamental aspects. The book includes information on recent and experimental techniques. The material is intended for surgeons with implant experience.

Book Description
Oral implantology remains one of the fastest-growing, most dynamic fields within dentistry. This is due in large measure to the rapid development of safe, effective osseointegrable implant systems that offer patients a permanent, esthetic alternative to partial or full removable prosthetic devices. Its growth can also be attributable to the increased interest in this treatment modality by both specialists (prosthodontists, oral surgeons, periodontists) and general dentists alike. For the growing numbers of aged patients, implants offer an excellent solution for loss of teeth and the ensuing treatment challenges.

ATLAS OF ORAL IMPLANTOLOGY serves as a complete instructional manual for highlighting step-by-step details for the most current techniques of implantation. Information is provided on how to choose patients, evaluate host sites, select implant types, place them step-by-step, observe them, diagnose incipient problems, institute remedial techniques, perform a wide variety of restorative modalities, and maintain and follow patients during the postoperative period. In addition to its 29 chapters, ATLAS OF ORAL IMPLANTOLOGY contains 13 appendices ranging from antibiotic prophylactic regimens to CAD-CAM computed tomography! This edition of ATLAS OF ORAL IMPLANTOLOGY is significantly revised. It offers the latest clearly illustrated and carefully delineated diagnostic, surgical, and prosthetic techniques in a logical and simple-to-follow format. The reader can easily find logical and practical descriptions -and alternatives) to virtually any implant situation or problem presented. Dr. Cranin is a very active lecturer worldwide and runs several implant workshops each year. He holds impressive credentials in the field of oral implantology, and is well-recognised and well-respected as a speaker and a writer.

Synopsis
In the last 15 years dental implantology has advanced from being an innovative, pioneering technique to an almost commonplace alternative to conventional fixed and removable dental prostheses, routinely available in most dental hospitals and many specialist practices. In this book the authors present a comprehensive overview of the field, superbly illustrated with line diagrams and colour photographs. Divided into three parts the book begins with theoretical considerations, the biology of bone, surgical anatomy, techniques of bone assessment and choice of materials. Part 2 covers patient assessment and preparation, surgical equipment and procedures, concluding with postoperative problems and aftercare. The final part illustrates the design and construction of the various types of implant-supported prostheses and their use for different clinical applications.

Book Description
This book's organisation is designed to follow the thought process of the practitioner in planning and implementing an implant placement. The book focuses on patient selection, diagnosis, treatment and management - including long term follow up care. Features in the book are anatomy, medical evaluation, interaction with specialists and treatment complications.

Synopsis
Implants have become a recognized and widely used treatment for partially dentate and edentulous patients. Here, the authors intend to give general dental practitioners a concise enough introduction to dental implantology so they can discuss implants as a treatment option with patients. They describe how practitioners select cases, assess patients

Synopsis
This work is intended for dentists/dental technicians who wish to achieve predictable results in fabricating implant-supported prostheses. Based on dental technology research followed by extensive clinical use, the book explains the methods and materials required for correctly-fitting frameworks.

Synopsis
This text describes the physical and chemical processes of osseointegration and the practical applications of osseointegrated dental implants. It is suitable for both students and practitioners, and should prepare the reader for more advanced study.

Synopsis
For general practitioners wishing to offer implant treatment this text the use of implants for achieving predictable restorative results. It presents a system that will allow dentists to identify those patients who are suitable candidates for implant therapy. It covers the specific risk factors - general, aesthetic and biomechanical - and explains how the dentist can define and evaluate the impact of these various risk factors and modify treatment accordingly. The risk factors and limitations specific to all types of edentulism and each particular clinical situation are described in detail. The safest treatment options, as well as alternative are given for each situation. Different surgical protocols are also presented, and the importance of communication openly with patients is stressed.
