"Immediate Loading of Dental Implants" is a major new work that surveys, clarifies, and marshals this burgeoning field of implant dentistry into one authoritative text. As patient demand for immediate restoration, with all the functional and esthetic benefits it brings, continues to increase, "Immediate Loading of Dental Implants" answers the need for a well-referenced and comprehensive guide, marrying together clinical technique with solid scientific and scholarly support. Led by one of restorative dentistry's most respected and relevant luminaries, this book will provide both post-graduate students and experienced clinicians with an unequalled multi-system resource in every aspect of immediate loading implant dentistry. The book's logical approach divides it into two parts. The first part outlines and explains the scientific background of immediate loading implants, evincing an understanding of the biology of osseointegration and soft tissue integration as the basis for attaining reproducible clinical results. The development of the modality itself is examined, evaluating the different approaches that have arisen and the data supporting their respective benefits. Treatment planning protocols are then discussed, before an explanation of the surgical protocols involved in immediate placement, and how these deviate from conventional implant dentistry. The second part of the book comprises the clinical chapters, which describe for each scenario a full treatment plan, including surgical placement, provisionalization, final prosthesis, and after-care. An immediate loading checklist to eliminate problems before they arise is included as a helpful appendix. Well-referenced, with a comprehensive and far-reaching bibliography, clearly and richly illustrated with clinical photography throughout, "Immediate Loading of Dental Implants" will be of enormous benefit, both to those working with implants and to those engaged in study.
