This generously illustrated book offers solutions for clinical and laboratory challenges in osseointegrated oral reconstruction. The subject is approached from a context of function, hygiene, and esthetics. Occlusion is explored in terms of what is required for implant success and patient health. A multitude of clinical implant cases is presented, and a full chapter is devoted to laboratory procedures for the Branemark System.
