Description

The second edition of this systematic handbook on implant-supported restorations presents a patient-oriented, evidence-based approach from treatment planning through postoperative rehabilitation. It addresses the interfaces between implantology, prosthetics, dental technology and the whole dental team.

This edition adds digital workflows, all-ceramic materials, concepts for the esthetic zone and guidance for patients on anti-resorptive therapy. It also covers immediate restoration of the edentulous jaw, treatment of peri-implantitis and data on long-term success.

Key Features

• 2nd edition, 2-volume hardcover set of 1,120 pages
• More than 3,000 illustrations and numerous decision trees for choosing the best individual form of treatment
• Dedicated chapters on radiographic analysis and drilling templates, surgical procedures, temporary restorations, impression techniques and jaw relation determination
• Specific challenges covered: restorations in the highly esthetic zone and fixed immediate loading of the edentulous jaw
• Chapters on digital applications, aftercare, prosthetic complications, mucositis and peri-implantitis

Coverage

Part A covers the basics: patient, esthetic, denture, implant abutment, biomaterial and emergence profiles, plus timing of placement and loading protocols. Part B sets out the treatment concept and the use of decision trees. Part C details clinical procedures, from radiographic analysis to prosthetic complications. Part D presents restoration concepts for single tooth gaps, interdental gaps and free-end situations, severely reduced residual dentition and edentulous jaws. Part E covers dental workflows for fixed and removable restorations on implants.

Practical applications drawn from the book include selecting a restoration concept with decision trees, planning guided implant placement with radiographic analysis and drilling templates, and managing mucositis and peri-implantitis in existing restorations.

About the Authors

Stefan Wolfart is the author of Implant Prosthodontics, a handbook that approaches implant prosthetics from the patient's profile and needs rather than from the technique alone.

Q&A

What is implant prosthodontics?
It is the branch of dentistry that plans and delivers the prosthetic restoration supported by dental implants, from single crowns to full-arch and removable restorations, in coordination with surgery and dental technology.

How do decision trees help in planning implant restorations?
They guide the clinician step by step from the patient's findings to the most suitable form of treatment, which makes planning more systematic and reproducible. This book dedicates a chapter to individualized treatment using decision trees.

Does the book cover peri-implantitis and complications?
Yes. It includes chapters on aftercare, prosthetic complications, and the treatment of mucositis and peri-implantitis.

What changed in the second edition?
The publisher notes new content on digital workflows, all-ceramic materials, esthetic-zone concepts, patients on anti-resorptive therapy, immediate restoration of the edentulous jaw and long-term success data.
