Implant Treatment Planning for the Edentulous Patient: A Graftless Approach to Immediate Loading

This title helps you to stay on the cutting edge of implant dentistry for the edentulous patient! Written by Dr. Edmond Bedrossian, one of only a few specialists doing zygoma implants, "Treatment Planning for the Fully Endentulous Patient: A Graftless Approach to Immediate Loading" covers the latest advances in implants, products, and techniques. The book discusses the broader issues of working with the edentulous patient, then describes 1-stage and 2-stage protocols, immediate loading, and the graftless approach. Also included in this title are insightful discussions of case studies and coverage of new software that helps to improve outcomes in treatment planning and surgery.
