The Br Nemark Osseointegrated Implant

This work updates clinical research on the Branemark implant; it covers recent applications and emphasizes soft tissue response, biologic perspectives and oral rehabilitation."

Osseointegration is an area of medicine that has resulted from a greater understanding of how to unite bone and metal. In this medical handbook, Branemark (Branemark Osseointegration Center, Sweden), one of the pioneers of the field, presents 25 chapters covering the history, principles, and current state of the art of osseointegration in facial reconstruction.

This book is intended for those dentists and dental technicians who wish to make prostheses specifically for implant support. The methods and materials necessary for making frameworks which fit accurately without corrective soldering form the basis of this innovative book. Here is a unique blend of research data and practical know-how with the objective of providing a dental technology as predictably reliable as the osseointegrated implants to which it is connected.

Osseointegration and Dental Implants offers a comprehensive guide to the state of the art of implant dentistry. Based around the proceedings of the Toronto Osseointegration Conference Revisited, it gathers together information on all aspects of implant dentistry and osseointegration, from basic scientific background, such as the biology of osseointegration and the biomechanics of implant surface design, to clinical relevance, such as treatment planning, loading protocols, and patient rehabilitation. This unique book shows implant dentistry as it is today, in all its diverse clinical applications, and provides an expert discussion of what we know, what we think we know, and what we need to find out.

Newly updated and expanded, this classic textbook remains true to its original purpose-that is, to provide basic, objective information about the principles and practice of implant dentistry for the student or practicing dentist who is new to the subject.

Provides descriptions of maxillofacial surgical methods/techniques for more demanding clinical situations, including relevant fundamental aspects. The book includes information on recent and experimental techniques. The material is intended for surgeons with implant experience.
