20 Years Of Guided Bone Regeneration In Implant Dentistry

Brings the reader up-to-date on the developments in GBR over the past 20 years. The first four chapters focus on the basic science of GBR in implant dentistry. Helps the reader to understand the biologic and biomaterial background of this well-documented and well-established surgical technique in implant dentistry—essential knowledge for the use of barrier membranes in patients. Focuses on the clinical applications of GBR. Presents specific indications and describes the criteria for patient selection, the step-by-step surgical procedure, and aspects of postoperative treatment. Reflects the immense progress of GBR in the past 10 to 15 years and the current clinical status of GBR in implant dentistry. Like its predecessor, is a must-have resource for all clinicians with interest and experience in implant dentistry. [editor].

Examines GBR from its biologic basis to its clinical applications in implant dentistry. It presents the original experimental studies, details the biology of GBR, and describes the criteria for membrane design. Step-by-step surgical procedures are outlined, and the use of barrier membranes is evaluated. [editor].

This book describes all methods of bone management currently employed within the field of dental implantology, with the aim of equipping oral surgeons and other practitioners with a sound practical understanding of bone augmentation. The different possibilities for augmentation of the jaw in the vertical and horizontal dimensions are explained, and detailed information provided on the latest techniques of augmentation, including guided bone regeneration, mandibular bone grafting, 3D technique, extraoral bone augmentation, and microvascular bone transplantation. Readers will find clear guidance on diagnosis and treatment planning and helpful discussion of the basic principles of bone augmentation. Individual chapters also address the role of lasers, complications and risks, and emerging trends. The extensive case documentation, with numerous color illustrations and photos, highlights what is possible today in the field of bone regeneration. This book is a “must read” for all implantologists, oral maxillofacial surgeons, periodontists, and dentists with an interest in oral surgery.

Horizontal Augmentation of the Alveolar Ridge in Implant Dentistry: A Surgical Manual presents the four main methods of horizontal ridge augmentation in a clinically focused surgical manual. After an introductory section and requirements for dental implants, sections are devoted to each procedure: ridge-split, intraoral onlay block bone grafting, guided bone regeneration, and horizontal distraction osteogenesis. Chapters written by international experts in each augmentation procedure Step-by-step instruction for each technique More than 1,100 clinical photographs and illustrations

This book is a comprehensive resource of a broad range of topics ranging from materials, techniques, and the procedures employed for the purpose of bone regeneration in dentistry, in both clinical and research settings. The chapters presented in this book include the latest advances in this field and encompasses periodontal regeneration as well as bone regeneration around implants. Readers will find up-to-date information on topics like bone replacement grafts, regenerative membranes, biologically active molecules, bone regeneration in implantology, and diabetes mediated bone regulation and clinical outcomes. A concluding chapter examines limitations in bone regeneration and potential future directions in research and practice. The discussion of both biological and clinical aspects of bone regeneration ensures that the book will be of value for a wide range of readers including postgraduate students of periodontology and implantology, trainees in oral and maxillofacial surgery, general dental practitioners and clinical researchers. Highlights: Covers both biological and clinical aspects of bone regeneration in dentistry Provides information on the latest materials, techniques, and procedures Discusses periodontal regeneration as well as bone regeneration around implants Written by eminent academicians and clinicians who are also research scholars
