Implantologia

Il volume presenta, in forma sintetica, tutte le informazioni indispensabili che rendono predicibile la sopravvivenza nel tempo degli impianti dentali e, di conseguenza, il loro successo clinico. La formula scelta è quella dell'atlante, con ricchezza di immagini che illustrano le varie metodiche. Il volume è utile al giovane odontoiatra che sì avvicina all'implantologia per la prima volta poiché vi trova raccolte tutte le informazioni necessarie, spesso disperse nella letteratura scientifica. Ma anche coloro che, pur eseguendo l'implantologia da anni, desiderano revisionare il loro protocollo chirurgico alla luce delle più moderne ricerche scientifiche.

Scopo di questo volume è quello di illustrare in modo didattico, con un'ampia iconografia esempliflcativa, le principali operatività della protesi implanto-supportata alla luce delle più recenti acquisizioni in materia e delle metodiche più accreditate. L'impronta dei capitoli è principalmente "protesica", pur lasciando spazi al protocollo chirurgico che assume una rilevanza particolare per la progettazione e la decisione strategica nella dislocazione delle fixture. Il CD-ROM allegato, utilizzabile sia in ambiente Windows che Macintosh, presenta filmati commentati su: inserimento di impianti protesicamente guidato, Toronto bridge mandibolare, protesi fissa mascellare cementata e sistematica conometrica.

The field of implant dentistry has significantly grown in recent years, yet balancing natural-looking aesthetics with long-term function still remains a clinical challenge. This unique reference text provides experienced dental practitioners and students with a step-by-step clinical guide for achieving optimal aesthetic results with dental implants. The book's "hands-on" approach to dental implant aesthetics guides readers through the labyrinth of clinical decision-making and presents a solid foundation of scientific research, complete clinical cases, and documented techniques that simplify procedures and solve many of the aesthetic problems encountered in daily practice. A respected clinician, international speaker, researcher and practitioner in the field of dental implant aesthetics, Dr. El Askary highlights strategies and techniques to address many of the clinical pitfalls and complications associated with aesthetic dental implant restorations. Contents include an introduction to the field of aesthetic implant dentistry, presurgical considerations, aesthetic implant placement, soft tissue management and aesthetic bone grafting. "Reconstructive Aesthetic Implant Surgery" contains current topics in aesthetic implantology, hundreds of full-color photographs and illustrations, case reports that apply the latest advancements in clinical techniques, and comprehensive references to related research. Specifically designed to improve surgical, prosthetic, and case design skills, "Reconstructive Aesthetic Implant Surgery" is a valuable learning tool for practitioners and students in periodontics, prosthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and general dentistry.

This work represents advanced surgical techniques for preserving and restoring natural dental esthetics in implant therapy. Written for the novice and expert alike, each chapter builds on the information in the preceding chapters in an easy-to-follow format. Following a discussion of the rationale and biologic basis for creating a stable peri-implant soft tissue environment, the author presents a systematic approach to the patient evaluation, including quantification of the positive and negative elements that enhance and detract from an individual's smile; specific surgical maneouvres for managing peri-implant soft tissues, including various innovative flap designs; the surgical and prosthetic protocols of a technique for preserving the natural hard and soft tissue anatomy in patients undergoing tooth removal; soft tissue grafting techniques for augmenting attached tissues around natural teeth and implant restoration; and an innovative technique for reconstructing large-volume hard and soft tissue defects in the anterior maxillary area. The final chapter presents advanced cases that demonstrate the use of these procedures in various situations, along with algorithms to guide the implant surgeon in their selection and sequencing.

Implants have become a recognized and widely used treatment for partially dentate and edentulous patients. Here, the authors intend to give general dental practitioners a concise enough introduction to dental implantology so they can discuss implants as a treatment option with patients. They describe how practitioners select cases, assess patients
