Main description:

Implant Restorations: A Step-by-Step Guide, Third
Edition offers clinicians a practical, step-by-step approach to
treatment planning and restoring dental implants. This highly
illustrated, case-based book demonstrates how to treat the most
commonly encountered treatment scenarios, describing the
procedures, techniques, and sequences required in clear, concise
language and in an easy-to-use format. The book takes the theory of
implant restoration, using as its basis 3i?s implant systems,
and places it directly in the operatory, concentrating in detail on
each stage of the actual clinical procedures involved in treating
different patients. It integrates implant treatment with the
realities of running a successful restorative practice. Building on
the work of the 2nd edition, the 3rd edition of this successful
text reflects the advances of implant prosthetics over the
intervening years, providing all new cases, exploring new
techniques and technology, and demonstrating updated system
components and armamentarium.

Implant Restorations: A Step-by-Step Guide follows a
logical structure of three sections. The first section introduces
implant restorative dentistry, how to develop an implant
restorative practice, the issues involved, the technical components
of the 3i systems, diagnosis, and treatment planning. The central
section of the book devotes separate chapters to in-depth
descriptions of each of several types of patients that the
restorative dentist may encounter, ranging from basic to more
challenging cases. Every step of each procedure is described and
illustrated with clinical photographs. Laboratory work orders are
presented for use with commercial dental laboratories. The final
section discusses record-keeping, patient compliance, hygiene
regimes and follow-up, and provides the reader with an outline of
best-practice procedural protocols.

An excellent and accessible guide on the most burgeoning subject
in modern dental practice by one of its most experienced
clinicians, Implant Restorations: A Step-by-Step Guide, Third
Edition will appeal to prosthodontists, general dentists,
implant surgeons, dental students, dental laboratory technicians
and dental assistants.
