Atlas of Complications and Failures in Implant Dentistry: Guidelines for a Therapeutic Approach

Luigi Galasso and Gian Antonio Favero

After nearly three decades of widespread application, implant-prosthetic therapy has been proved to be effective and safe. However, implant treatment modalities cannot be considered entirely free of complications, and there remains a need to reduce the clinical incidence of avoidable errors. Although rare and usually minor, complications in implant dentistry require tested management protocols. The authors detail common complications through clinical case examples and explain the best strategies to optimize treatment outcomes. This practical reference book serves as a guide for diagnosis and treatment of complications and also, more importantly, provides a code of conduct and a philosophy for how to approach complications.

Contents
Complications at the Time of Connection • Complications of Immediate Loading • Complications at the Prosthetic Phase • Complications During Follow-Up

Attachments in the Laboratory

Frank Kaiser

Understanding the diversity of attachment systems available for removable partial prostheses requires a great deal of knowledge and careful attention. This unique atlas provides a meticulous study of approximately 75 different types of attachments currently found on the market. The classification of these connectors by concept (function; mechanism; and location, such as intracoronary, extracoronary, on bars, or for overdentures) allows for better clinical decision making and improved communication between dentists and laboratory technicians. A complete study of the laboratory procedures based on the author’s international experience are detailed step-by-step, enhanced by objective explanations, 3D schemata, and detailed photographs. An invaluable reference for every dental technician.

Contents
Laboratory Procedures • Intracoronal Attachments • Extracoronal Attachments • Attachments on Bars • Attachments for Overdentures • Attachments for Telescopic Crowns

Immediate Dentoalveolar Restoration: Immediate-Loaded Implants in Compromised Alveolar Sockets

Edited by Josι Carlos Martins da Rosa

Immediate dentoalveolar restoration (IDR) is a treatment modality for immediate loading of single-tooth dental implants in fresh extraction sockets. This textbook provides a comprehensive step-by-step presentation of the IDR procedures and detailed clinical cases showing IDR used in various clinical situations. IDR reduces the number of interventions by integrating reconstruction of any tissue loss during the same visit as the implant placement and provisional crown fabrication. Predictability of the esthetics is ensured through careful esthetic assessment and use of advanced prosthetic techniques, including platform switching and contouring of the emergence profile. The minimally invasive techniques that are central to IDR are featured throughout. In addition, the authors cover the most important adjunctive topics, such as immediate loading, use of the maxillary tuberosity for bone grafts, and esthetic restoration.
