Sinopsis

This textbook covers the author’s extensive 35 years of experience in the field of osseointegrated dental implants and bone regeneration. It is a useful guide for dental students and for those approaching osseointegrated implant techniques for the first time as well as a helpful handbook for experts wishing to refine their techniques in bone regeneration, peri-implant soft tissue management, and the satisfactory resolution of esthetically complex cases. The book comprises in-depth research of historic and recent clinical cases to bring the reader a comprehensive collection of concepts that can be used to solve almost all the challenges faced in implant and regenerative clinical practice. The author dedicates the book to all those who realize that being an “expert” means learning to ask more and more questions, and that many of those questions remain unanswered.
