The integrated treatment plan places the individual patient at the centre of the diagnostic and therapeutic process. A natural consequence of this approach is that patients establish an alliance with the clinician for the purpose of achieving and maintaining good oral health over time. Therefore, the concept of an integrated treatment plan seeks to satisfy the patient's wishes and expectations, from both comprehensive and interdisciplinary perspectives, involving the application of state-of-the-art technology as well as the expertise and support of the medical and dental specialities.

This text delves into the process of constructing a diagnosis and assessing the potential risk factors and then describes step-by-step some of the more recent surgical procedures for patients who are candidates for implant therapy.

Each phase covered is accompanied by clear references to its scientific background in order to provide the reader with bibliographic support for further study. Most procedures are illustrated with photographs and anatomical drawings.

In the belief that sharing ideas, comparing experiences, and disseminating information can only contribute to professional growth and improvement, this text has been written not only for dentists and oral health professionals but also for students of general dentistry and the dental specialities as well as all other health care professionals.

Al-Faraje, Louie Surgical Complications in Oral Implantology Etiology, Prevention, and Management 1st Edition 2011 Artikelnr.: 19221 189.00 € Al-Faraje, Louie Surgical Complications in Oral Implantology Etiology, Prevention, and Management This exceptional new book is designed as a self-instruction guide to the diagnosis, management, and prevention of surgery-related complications in implant dentistry. It functions in two ways: First, it is a valuable resource for the implant surgeon seeking practical and succinct information about how to manage a complication in an emergency setting; and second, it can be read from cover to cover as a primer on implant surgery, from the initial consultation and treatment planning through the re[...]

Funato, Akiyoshi/Ishikawa, Tomo... 4D Implant Therapy Esthetic Considerations for Soft Tissue Management 1st Edition 2011 Artikelnr.: 18131 128.00 € Funato, Akiyoshi / Ishikawa, Tomohiro 4D Implant Therapy Esthetic Considerations for Soft Tissue Management Clinicians today recognize the need for a restoration-driven approach to implant therapy that considers the placement in bone and soft tissue from a three-dimensional perspective. However, the authors of this book assert that for optimal esthetics and patient satisfaction, a fourth dimension - timing - must be given equal weight in implant treatment planning. The aim of this book is to introduce this new 4-D concept for esthetic implant therapy and to reexamine the traditional treatment sequence[...]

Testori, Tiziano/Galli, Fabio/d... Immediate Loading A New Era in Oral Implantology 1st Edition 2010 Artikelnr.: 17581 280.00 € Testori, Tiziano / Galli, Fabio / del Fabbro, Massimo Immediate Loading A New Era in Oral Implantology As implant dentistry continues to evolve, one of the most promising new treatment strategies is immediate loading. Recent studies have demonstrated that immediate loading actually stimulates peri-implant osteogenesis by accelerating the fracture repair process, thereby increasing implant retention while minimizing surgical invasiveness, treatment time, and the psychologic distress of the patient. This book, written by a team of researchers and clinicians with specialized knowledge and experience[...]
