Implants are increasingly used by the dental profession to replace missing teeth or upgrade existing removable dentures. CONTEMPORARY IMPLANT DENTISTRY, written by the foremost dental implantologist in the United States, reviews the most popular implant systems. This comprehensive book focuses on patient selection, diagnosis, treatment, and management, including long-term follow-up care. The book follows a practitioner's thought process when planning and implementing an implant placement. Featured in the book are anatomy, medical evaluation, interaction with specialists, and treatment complications.

* Provides objective appraisal of various implant systems so practitioner can determine the clinical efficiency of a system before making the investment. * Emphasizes patient selection, work-up and treatment planning with several approaches that may benefit the special needs of a patient. * Covers complications, infections and retreatment of implant surgery to show the general practitioner how to deal with treatment failures that occur in about 10 percent of cases. * Biomaterials, biomechanics, anatomy and physiology chapters explain what is occurring at cellular and functional levels to help predict success or failure. * Taking a multidisciplinary approach to implant dentistry, the roles of general dentists, oral surgeons, prosthodontists, and periodontists are discussed.

This review is from: Contemporary Implant Dentistry, 2e (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.

This review is from: Contemporary Implant Dentistry, 3e (Hardcover)

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.

This is a must have book for those who actually care to learn about implant dentistry from one of the leading figures in the field. Each chapter is well written and complete. You can access each chapter if you seek out specific information, or you can read the entire text front cover to last page.
Highly recommend this book.
