OSSEOINTEGRATION: AND MULTIDISCIPLINARY TREATMENT Author: Francischone Ed/Year: 1/2008 ISBN: 9788587425768

Primarily written by postgraduate students at Sagrado Coracão University, Brazil, the 14 chapters in this collection walk through different rehabilitation options for replacing teeth with osseointegrated dental implant and discuss the interactive role of implantology with other disciplines. Numerous color photographs illustrate treatment planning and implant positioning, soft tissue management, autogenous bone grafts, reconstruction of craniofacial function, and zygomatic implants as a surgical alternative for atrophic maxillae. The last chapter presents Francischone's classification of implant prostheses into eight groups. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
