Book description
With the desire for dental implant therapy ever escalating, clinicians
are faced with the challenge of augmenting deficient natural physiology
to provide effective sites for implantation.
Implant Site Development
helps the clinician decide if, when, and how to create a ridge site
amenable to implantation. This practical book offers solutions to many
implant site preservation scenarios, discussing different treatment
options, timing, a variety of materials and techniques, and their
application to the clinical practice. With a unique integrated clinical
approach, Implant Site Development
covers a range of site development techniques.
Highly illustrated, Implant Site Development presents diagrams
and clinical photographs to aid with clinical judgment and will prove
useful for any dental professional involved in implant therapy, from
general practitioners to prosthodontists, but especially surgeons.
This literature-based, yet user-friendly, reference will be
indispensable to the novice or veteran clinician.
