Immediate Loading of Implants
Mithridade Davarpanah and S. Szmukler-Moncler
This clinical manual, a product of worldwide collaboration among experts in the field of implant dentistry, details the surgical and prosthetic prerequisites for clinicians who wish to apply this treatment protocol in qualified patients. Within the context of biologic and biomechanical principles, the authors provide guidelines for applying this protocol in edentulous and partially edentulous patients in both the mandible and maxilla. This clinically oriented manual also addresses questions such as when to use screw-retained or cement-retained provisionals, how to prepare the prosthesis chairside, and when to have the prosthesis prepared in the lab. Ample illustrations, flow charts, and clinical cases appear throughout for enhanced understanding.

The Art of Computer-Guided Implantology
Edited by Alan Rosenfeld and Philippe Tardieu
The authors of this book have pioneered a technique for constructing a surgical guide to direct implant placement that is truly, for the first time, prosthetic-driven. The surgical guide is a resin-based template that is placed in the patient’s mouth during implant surgery, thereby physically transferring the treatment plan to the patient. Employing advanced CT technology, this novel approach to restorative treatment planning greatly simplifies implant delivery and produces more accurate and predictable outcomes.

Management of the Edentulous Patient: A Biological Approach
Edited by Giulio Preti and Gianfranco Gassino
This book, the culmination of more than 30 years of experience in the treatment of edentulous patients, presents a therapeutic approach to the management of the edentulous patient. This treatment philosophy considers both the unique circumstances of individual patients and the universal biological principles associated with edentulism to provide optimal clinical results and improved patient satisfaction. In separate sections, the authors address psychosocial and biological considerations and clinical and technical principles for complete denture therapy. A final section applies the treatment philosophy to overdentures, alveolar ridge reconstruction, implant- supported dentures, and rehabilitation of patients with acquired maxillofacial defects.
