Description

In this resource, the pioneers and experts in the field of osseointegration present a reliable recipe for prosthetic stability, and the opportunities and limitations involved. Comprehensive and illustrated, the book is divided into six sections: part I explains the biomedical, psychological, and medicolegal considerations of osseointegration; part II emphasizes essential surgical and prosthetic considerations; part III and IV present practical principles and techniques for the complete range of craniofacial defects, from the simple to the complex; part V explains post-treatment management and possible complications; and part VI is devoted to the treatment of hearing impaired patients.
