New Paradigms in Implant Dentistry

by Victor Martinez (Editor)

Overview

A dental implant is a type of prosthesis, which is introduced in the jaw bone or skull for providing support to dental prosthesis like a denture, facial prosthesis, or crown-bridge. It can also be used as an orthodontic anchor. Success and failure of the dental implants is dependent on the health of the individual undergoing the procedure, as well as the drugs which are administered. The complications and risks related with dental implants that can happen during surgery include nerve injury or excessive bleeding. The long term complications associated with such procedures include mechanical failures and peri-implantitis. Technologies like interactive software applications, cone-beam computed tomography and computed tomography are facilitating the development of significant tools for diagnosis, planning the treatment, and fixing the dental implant along with surgical and restorative procedures. This book explores all the important aspects of implant dentistry in the present day scenario. With state-of-the-art inputs acclaimed by experts in this field, this book targets students and professionals.
