Essential Implant Dentistry provides dental students with a comprehensive, introductory resource on dental implants. Designed to be used between years 2 and 4 for the DDS program, it will also carry its readers through the transition into practice. Highly illustrated with both clinical photographs and helpful diagrams, it will also feature education tools such as key literature, key concepts, hints and tips, and learning outcomes. This book works from the elementary principles of implant dentistry, using them as a firm basis on which to build a thorough understanding of this complex and vitally important treatment modality. It assumes little or no prior knowledge, giving readers a good grounding in the basics of implant dentistry in a clear and cogent way and providing a sound framework for an implant dentistry curriculum.
