Decision-Making at the Crossroads between Periodontology and Implant Dentistry

With their book Plastic-Esthetic Periodontal and Implant Surgery – A Microsurgical Approach, these two nationally and internationally renowned authors have already written one of the most important works on oral surgery. They now present their patient-oriented treatment approach for implantology and periodontal surgery. In this groundbreaking three-volume compendium, they demonstrate, among other things, how to achieve healthy and stable gingival and peri-implant soft tissue, considering the latest evidence and the individual risk profiles and needs of patients. Due to extensive current scientific evidence available in dental medicine, it is no longer appropriate for dentists to be for or against preserving severely damaged teeth or to be for or against implants. The time has come to break away from dogma and combine both worlds – tooth preservation and implant therapy – into a coherent approach for the benefit of patients. The work contains a wealth of information, providing all the necessary biologic and technical principles (Volume 1) as well as the surgical techniques (Volumes 2 and 3) required for practitioners in the fields of implantology, periodontology, and oral surgery. The in-depth work comprises a user-friendly format, including numerous detailed case studies with step-by-step procedures and extensive lists of materials. It is brilliantly illustrated with top-quality photographs and radiographs as well as other illustrative material, and is supplemented by a number of videos. This compendium is without doubt a real breakthrough and should be included in every dental library!
