Basic Principles Still Apply,
By

This review is from: Risk Factors in Implant Dentistry: Simplified Clinical Analysis for Predictable Treatment (Hardcover)
Dental implants are hot. They are the trendy things to do and more and more patients are asking for them. Not only that, more and more surgical cases are now handled by general dentists like myself. Even though I consider myself an experienced implant practitioner, I still need to refer to this book every now and then to remind myself of the basic principles to follow. There are neat tables showing the relative risk for various clinical situations and also a trouble-shooting list at the end. The information is by no means exhaustive and different systems may have different ways to overcome the problems, but basics still apply.
Even though the external hex implants featured in the book are all but outdated, this book is still a valuable resource for new as well as experienced implant practitioners doing pre-surgical risk assessment.
