Description
Summary:Provides the general dentist and the prosthodontist with a guide to restoring dental implants. This step-by-step clinical manual demonstrates how to treat the most commonly encountered cases, describing the procedures, techniques, and sequences required in clear, concise language. The book takes the theory of implant restoration, using as its basis the 3i system of implants, and places it directly in the dental surgery, concentrating on each stage of the actual clinical procedures involved. Building on the work of the 1st edition, the 2nd edition of this successful guide reflects the advances of implant prosthetics over the intervening years, providing all new cases, exploring new techniques and technology, and demonstrating updated system components and armamentarium. Implant Restorations: a Step-by-Step Guide follows a logical structure of three sections. The first section introduces implant restoration, how to develop a restorative practice, the issues involved, the technical components of the 3i system, diagnosis, and treatment planning. The central section of the book devotes separate chapters to each of several basic types of cases that the restorative dentist may encounter, examining them in depth. Every step of the procedure is described and illustrated with clinical photographs. The final section discusses record-keeping, patient compliance, hygiene regimes and follow-up, and provides the reader with an outline of best-practice procedural protocols.
