5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you need to know, December 5, 2004

By	S. Lynn (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Contemporary Implant Dentistry (Hardcover)

I have been a practicing dentist for 29 years and restoring implants since 1991. I am in the process of becoming board certified to now place my own fixtures. Misch does a fantastic job of bringing into view a number of treatment modalities and what the potential pitfalls can be if each particular step is not followed. Much better than the text book that the school is using. Anyone that is considering restoring and or placing fixtures and intends to get predictable esthetic and functional results needs to read this book.

By	Dr. K. H. Chan (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is akin to the Bible of implant dentistry. It is very comprehensive and enlightening yet easy to read as a text book or a reference source. Suitable for novice or experienced implantologist who consistently look for optimum and predictable results in their treatment to patients.I regard the book as one of the most valued book in my personal collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't do Dental Implants Without This Book, January 7, 2009

By	Thomas Rider - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have taken over 200 hours of implant continuing education. If someone had recommended this book my learning experience would have far exceeded the otherwise great education I recieved.

This book is very comprehensive, well organized and covers just about every aspect of implant dentistry in great detail.
