The main task of dental implantology is occlusal rehabilitation. We should call
the end product a prosthesis, whether it is removable or not. As described, a
prosthesis is a substitute for an organ or its function. At best, a patient should
be able to forget that they using a prothesis and its existence should in itself be
satisfying to them. If we can fulfil these criteria, we have given the patient a gift,
a gift which is one of the most important they will ever receive.
The field of dental implantology increased rapidly until the beginning of the
last decade. This is explained not only by the increasing level of dentists’
knowledge and skills, but also by the various national social security systems in
Central Europe and some Scandinavian countries. Today, these systems are less
effective as a result of economic depression. This has forced the development
of reasonable, simplified and rational dental implant systems such as the Osfix
system.
It is possible to describe dental implantology as controlled risk-taking, based
on skilled surgery in the jawbone, modern titanium fabrication and precision
dental laboratory manufacturing. This involves three obligatory conditions for
the implantologist: 1. A knowledge of anatomy; 2. the ability to handle tissues
such as the mucous membrane, muscles, nerves, veins, bones, extra oral tissues,
and even sinuses; and 3. the ability to assemble prefabricated titanium parts and
hand-made dental laboratory products. If any of these claims are not fulfilled,
the risk-taking is no longer controlled.

Part of the new series, Advanced Topics in Science and Technology in China, this book is designed to give the necessary theoretical foundation to new users of the finite element method in implant dentistry, and show how both the implant dentist and designer can benefit from finite element analysis. The first part deals with the theory of the finite element method. containing the necessary mathematical theory but written so that readers from a dental background can easily understand. Then basic knowledge of implant dentistry is introduced to readers from an engineering background. Next, dental implant applications, and the critical issues of using finite element analysis for dental implants are discussed, followed by aspects of dental implant modeling. Finally, two popular commercial finite element software programs, ANSYS and ABACUS, are introduced for dental finite element analysis. Dr J.P. Geng is a professional implant dentist and has been an implant designer for 15 years.
This book explores the potential of bone grafting techniques to rehabilitate the maxilla through the placement of dental implants. As implant dentistry becomes increasingly well established and sophisticated, this book will help experienced surgeons to involve implant solutions as part of more challenging reconstructions in the upper jaw.
Starting with a recap on principles of bone biology, the book then considers implant integration in normal bone and with bone grafts. Grafting procedures are presented depicting a variety of bone harvest sites, followed by onlay and inlay grafting techniques. Approaches to sinus lifting, segmental osteotomy and distraction osteogenesis for augmentation protocols are provided.
Until now, implants have been almost exclusively the domain of specialists, and consequently many general practitioners have been reluctant to offer this treatment modality to those patients who can most benefit from it. This book seeks to bridge this gap by offering the dentist a well-defined role in the use of implants for achieving predictable restorative results. It presents a clear and easy-to-use system that will allow general practitioners to identify those patients who are suitable candidates for implant therapy. Successful, predictable implant treatment requires identification of specific risk factors--general, esthetic, biomechanical--that may lead to complications and failure. During the treatment-planning process, the dentist can define and evaluate the impact of these various risk factors, and modify treatment accordingly. The risk factors and limitations specific to all types of edentulism and each particular clinical situation are described in detail, and the safest treatment options, as well as alternative solutions, are given for each. Different surgical protocols are also presented, and the importance of communicating openly with patients is stressed.
Aesthetic dentistry has become increasingly important to dentists and their patients. This book is designed as a springboard to assist clinicians in developing the aesthetic potential of restorative procedures. The book marries evidence-based principles with handy hints and tips the author has distilled from years of clinical experience. This combination of scientific principles with ‘real world’ practice will boost the confidence of budding aesthetic practitioners and clinical dental students.
The book focuses on the principles of aesthetic work across the dentist\'s repertoire, rather than concentrating on one particular technique. For this reason, it will add value to the range of daily restorative work in the dental surgery.
There is hardly any area of dentistry that has been so characterized by innovation and rapid development as the field of implantology. With a multitude of new implant systems and materials, diagnostic methods, and surgical and prosthetic treatment techniques, dental implantology is the growth area in dental practice today.
This comprehensive book puts pivotal clinical and scientific advances in implantology at your fingertips. Covering surgical, prosthodontic, and technical developments in a clear and systematic way, IMPLANTOLOGY is easily readable and highly practical. And nowhere else will you find the abundance of full-color photographic sequences and diagrams (more than 1500 in all) that not only illustrate key information but make the book a visual delight.
For all dentists wishing to expand into this field, this is the indispensable first-line resource for achieving confidence in providing the best patient care possible.
