Clinical Cases in Implant Dentistry - Preston Bailey - Bog

A surgical process that supports a dental prosthesis such as bridge, crown and denture, by interfacing with the bone of jaw and skull is known as implant dentistry. The most common procedure in implant dentistry is osseointegration. In this process, the materials such as titanium are used to make an intimate bond to the bone. The complications related to the dental implants occur during the process of surgery such as bleeding and nerve injury. Complications such as infection and failure to osseointegrate, can also occur after the surgery. For the success of osseointegration, sufficient amount of healing time is necessary before the dental prosthetic is attached to the implant. This book outlines the processes and applications of modern implant dentistry in detail. It is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex advancements in this field. With state-of-the-art inputs by acclaimed experts of this field, this book targets students and professionals.
