Use this atlas-style guide to master implant procedures and techniques! Written by leading expert Michael S. Block, DMD, Color Atlas of Dental Implant Surgery, 3rd Edition provides clear, full-color clinical photos and practical instructions covering a wide range of implant challenges. It takes you through treatment planning, presurgical guidelines, detailed surgical techniques, and postoperative follow-up. This edition adds more case studies, coverage of computed tomography, and a new DVD with videos of 14 surgical procedures filmed by the author. With this book, you'll be able to address any implant-related situation and achieve optimal results! Full, clear step-by-step procedures include indications, contraindications, and treatment results for each procedure.Over 1,400 full-color photographs and drawings depict important concepts and techniques, and show treatment from beginning to end.Indications and contraindications for each procedure provide details of why a procedure is performed.A discussion of the result of prosthodontic treatment is provided for each case, explaining how implant placement factors into successful therapy.Chapters are organized by oral anatomy and surgical technique, with each chapter presenting a different area of the mouth or a specific surgical technique.The Mandible section covers various approaches to augmentation of the atrophic mandible, including a case that utilizes distraction osteogenesis.Detailed cases of posterior mandible surgery demonstrate onlay bone harvesting and grafting the deficient ridge.The Maxilla section features sinus grafting, hard and soft tissue procedures, and the relatively new zygomaticus implant procedure.References are provided at the end of every chapter for additional reading and research.A companion dvd includes illustrations from case studies plus 14 videos of procedures:Horizontal ridge augmentation using tunneling techniquePosterior mandibular vertical augmentation using interpositional osteotomyHorizontal ridge augmentation using particulate graft with membraneCT guided maxillary surgeryLaser assisted intraimplant site sinus elevation surgerySinus augmentation using BMP and laser assistancePlacement of implants into the augmented site 6 months after the BMP graftPiezotome assisted premolar extraction with immediate implant placementPlacement of implant in compromised central incisor siteExtraction with immediate implant placementCT guided surgery for central incisor with custom healing abutmentCT guided anterior maxillary surgery with immediate provisionalizationPalatal approach for implant placementAnterior maxillary interpositional osteotomy for vertical ridge augmentationGuidelines for CT imaging help you to accurately assess vital structures and discover bone shape and height, resulting in a more precise treatment planning sequence, including coverage of planning for a fixed prosthesis, immediate provisionalization in a patient with teeth, assessing bone prior to implant placement, immediate provisionalization using a CT-generated guide stent, angling implants to avoid the inferior alveolar nerve, and more.New, cutting-edge techniques/procedures with p
