Best Practices in Implant Dentistry meets the need for a thorough, accessible guide to the knowledge and skills required to provide dental implant treatment. Aimed at all members of the dental team, from general practitioners to surgeons to nurses, this book begins with regulations, standards, and patients’ safety before moving through well-organized sections on clinical aspects, including biomechanics, implant design, human factors, patient assessment, and implant maintenance. The growth of nanotechnology and digital workflows in the field of implant dentistry are also covered.
Best Practices in Implant Dentistry readers will also find:
Coverage of all stages of treatment, from assessment to maintenance phases
Detailed incorporation of principles from General Dental Council (GDC), Faculty of General Dental Practice (FGDP) good practice guidelines, and the Committee of Postgraduate Dental Deans and Directors (COPDEND) curriculum, International team for implantology (ITI), European association for osseointegration (EAO) and Association for dental implantology (ADI).
Promotion of high standards of education, documentation, and delivery of implant treatment
Updated guidance on digital implant workflows, nanotechnology, and surface treatment of implants
Best Practices in Implant Dentistry is fully informed by the latest approaches and institutional guidelines. It is a must-have purchase for dental professionals at every level who work with implants, including dentists, dental nurses, and oral surgeons.
