Oral Implantology: Assessment to maintenance, 1st ed. 2024 BDJ Clinician’s Guides Series

This well-illustrated book is primarily designed as a practical guide to dental implantology for general dental practitioners who do not routinely place or restore dental implants but also for those who do. It explains the importance of appropriate case selection and treatment planning, examines the risks and benefits of implant care, and discusses immediate placement, immediate loading and delayed placement protocols. Basic surgical and restorative (fixed and removable) options including digital and CADCAM workstreams are outlined. Issues around implant maintenance implant superstructure repair and remakes and implant removal are also covered. This book, written by recognised experts on the subject, will enable dentists with limited implant knowledge to discuss implant procedures with patients and to carry out routine surveillance and repair of dental implants. It will also be of value as a learning aid for under- and postgraduate students.
