Implant dentistry has come a long way since Dr. Branemark
introduced the osseointegration concept with endosseous
implants. The use of dental implants has increased exponentially
in the last three decades. As implant treatment became more
predictable, the benefits of therapy became evident. The demand
for dental implants has fueled a rapid expansion of the market.
Presently, general dentists and a variety of specialists offer
implants as a solution to partial and complete edentulism. Implant
dentistry continues to evolve and expand with the development of
new surgical and orthodontics techniques. The aim of Implant Dentistry
A Rapidly Evolving Practice, is to provide a contemporary clinic resource
for dentists who want to replace missing teeth with dental implants.
It is a text that relates one chapter to every other chapter and
integrates common threads among science, clinical experience
and future concepts. This book consists of 23 chapters divided
into five sections. We believe that, Implant Dentistry: A Rapidly
Evolving Practice, will be a valuable source for dental students,
post-graduate residents, general dentists and specialists who
want to know more about dental implants.
