Implant Therapy: Clinical Approaches and Evidence of Success

Myron Nevins and Hom-Lay Wang convene a large group of authors to cover the implant process from beginning to end, starting with a question that remains open in practice: save the tooth or place an implant? From there follow planning, diagnostic imaging, surgical positioning, management of the post-extraction socket, bone regeneration, sinus elevation, soft tissue grafting and loading protocols, through to peri-implantitis and maintenance therapy. The multidisciplinary chapters — orthodontics, orthognathic surgery, growth factors, tissue engineering — round off a work grounded in evidence, abundant imagery and documented clinical cases.
