Implantology at present is arguably the most significant discipline in dentistry. It has become a source of intellectual pursuit and patient referrals. Advances in all areas of implant dentistry are occurring at record paces. In the current medico-legal climate, it is important that all practitioners, especially those starting out in implant dentistry, become knowledgeable in all areas. The values of adding skills to one's present capabilities are inestimable. Implantology is one such skill. It offers treatment modalities and techniques of broad and varied interests to all practitioners who wish to work alone or to join others in team efforts.
This book will serve as a unique tool for dental professionals to become proficient in the field of implant dentistry. It illustrates a smooth and systematic approach to all fields in surgical implantology from case selection and diagnostic aids to surgical principles, treatment modalities, and complications. The objective of the book is to provide the reader with a quick and easy navigation guide in a table-based format, with recommendations at the end of each section. It can serve as a teaching reference in dental teaching institutions for dental students and residents, or as a companion in a clinical practice for beginning and advanced implant dentists.
