IMMEDIATE FUNCTION & ESTHETICS IN IMPLANT DENTISTRY (HB 2009)

After introducing their trademarked 'Noble-Guide' concept of a comprehensive practical guide to surgical procedures for patients who seek immediate functional and aesthetic dental gratification, Moy (oral and maxillofacial surgery, UCLA) and pioneers in osseointegration practicing in France (Dr. Patrick Palacci) and Sweden (Prof. Ingvar Ericcson) present the process and loading protocols in detail from clinical diagnosis through work-up via a CAT scan, to computer-based surgical planning and minimally invasive implant procedures. They consider complications but not costs. Chapters include examples of case presentations, color patient photographs and illustrations, and further reading.
