ZERO BONE LOSS CONCEPTS

DESCRIPTION

Bone lossis still a major issue thatdentists encounter, but it isa complication that can be prevented. By combining clinical experience with peer-reviewed scientific evidence, the author of this book has put togethera guide that any implant specialistwill find invaluable to prevent boneloss in their patients. Different strategies are presented that can be used to achieve zerobone loss years after treatment.Because successful treatment depends on both the surgical and prosthetic components, the book is dividedinto two parts, each focusingin depth on what must be done in each phase to promotebone stability. Case presentations detail many types of clinical situations, implant choices, and prosthetic solutions, all backed by evidence-based clinical studies that have provensuccess.
