30 YEARS OF GUIDED BONE REGENERATION

DESCRIPTION

With eachpassing decade, more researchis done on GBR, and more surgeons begin adopting this practicewith incredible results. Prof Daniel Buser has assembled a team of thetop names in implant surgery to puttogether a comprehensive guide onthe materials, indications, techniques, timing,and results of GBR. The book beginswith the science of boneregeneration, describing how bone and softtissue will react and behave under different circumstances, before delving into thedifferent methods and uses of GBR based onthe presenting scenario. How toproperly time and stage grafting, implant, and prosthetic therapy is a major focus.Case examples are presenteddocumenting each patients bone regeneration from start to finish,frequently with long-term follow-ups of 10 years ormore. Emphasis is given to incisiontechnique and flap design; the selection,handling, and placement of barrier membranes;the combination of membranes withautogenous bone grafts and low-substitution bone fillers; and aspects of woundclosure. This book offers solutionsfor those who want tobegin providing implants to a widerrange of patients, for GBR veterans who wantto refine their skills and practice more advanced techniques, and for implant surgeonswho want to keep up todate with the most current researchand technology in GBR.
