Description

With their book Plastic-Esthetic Periodontal and Implant Surgery – A Microsurgical Approach, these two internationally renowned authors already wrote one of the most important works on oral surgery. They now present their patient-oriented treatment approach for implantology and periodontal surgery, demonstrating how to achieve healthy and stable gingival and peri-implant soft tissue based on the latest evidence and each patient's individual risk profile.

Due to extensive current scientific evidence in dental medicine, it is no longer appropriate for dentists to be simply for or against preserving severely damaged teeth, or for or against implants. This work combines both worlds — tooth preservation and implant therapy — into a coherent, patient-centered approach.

The three volumes provide the biologic and technical principles (Volume 1) and the surgical techniques (Volumes 2 and 3) required by practitioners in implantology, periodontology, and oral surgery, in a user-friendly format with detailed case studies, step-by-step procedures, extensive materials lists, and supporting video content.
