Description

The introduction of osseointegrated dental implants soon 50 years ago has indeed revolutionized dentistry. The scientic evaluation of their use has shown good and increasingly successful treatment outcomes. A prerequisite though is the availability of sufcient bone volumes to ensure integration and acceptable aesthetic results. In this book various surgical techniques, using different augmentation materials, are described and explained. The aim has been to highlight minimally invasive surgical techniques, which leads to less risk of morbidity and reduces treatment time. Readers will enjoy a comprehensive atlas providing some practical advise for every day surgical practice based on solid scientic evidence.
