Sinopsis

Dental implantology has seen a revolution in the last decade. Reasons for this include the universal incorporation of 3D tools for diagnosis and planning, new surfaces and macro designs of implants, bioactive materials, tissue engineering techniques, and minimally invasive surgical procedures. This new paradigm is still evolving, and will doubtless change the way we treat edentulous patients in the forthcoming years. This book focuses on several controversial topics in implant dentistry. Controversial Issues in Implant Dentistry is aimed at the clinician who deals with implant therapy and needs deep insight into topics that are still the subject of debate.
