This book tells you what to look out for during examination and diagnosis and how to make use of study casts for treatment planning. I find the chapters on bone grafting to be especially helpful.

However, there are 2 problems. As expected in this sunrise industry, the implant systems featured in the book are already quite outdated. I can't imagine myself using an external hex anymore. Restoration nowadays is also a lot less complicated with a wider range of abutments and other accessories.

Secondly, the surgical techniques are almost never explained in detail. Perhaps an interactive handson course would be better able to impart that, but if you're a newbie, don't expect to learn much about surgical procedures. A bit disappointing for me when I first bought it, given the size and price of the book.

This comprehensive dental implant textbook is a must for the dentist who wants to be well informed on the intricacies of placing and restoring dental implants.

From case selection to surgical technique and prosthetic applications, this book is not only informative, but should be reviewed regularly. Even maintenance and hygiene protocols are addressed in wonderful detail.

The young dental student coming out of their program needs to comprehend many techniques not completely taught in dental school. Dental implants have proven to be a viable alternative to conventional dental treatment and need to be understood well to discuss with potential patients.

Dr. Babbush has done a wonderful job going through the physiology and technical aspects of modern dental therapy.

This text is well written, concise and clear. It is well-illusrated with color close-up photos. Each chapter discusses what the title states. It is for the moderately to well experienced implantologist. It delineates in clear language the proceedures discussed, as well as caveats.

My mother-in-law has false teeth. Full set of choppers. Lost them all before she was 20. In the US.

Just saying.

No one, not even her husband of half a century, has seen her without the teeth in. She gave birth with teeth in!

Just saying. I shouldn't make sport. I don't devote much time to dental hygeine beyond brushing once or twice a day. Floss, feh! I'll end up with store-boughts eventually, too, I guess. (But I'll take 'em out to scare door-to-door pests!)
