Augmentation Surgery

When the available bone is not enough to place the implant in the position the prosthesis demands, augmentation ceases to be an option and becomes the treatment. Hendrik Terheyden devotes this work to alveolar ridge augmentation surgery, a field in which reading the defect and choosing the technique condition everything that follows. It is aimed at oral and maxillofacial surgeons and implant dentists with surgical experience behind them, rather than at the beginner. The text is in English.
