A surgical process that supports a dental prosthesis such as bridge,
crown and denture, by interfacing with the bone of jaw and skull is
known as implant dentistry. The most common procedure in implant
dentistry is osseointegration. In this process, the materials such as
titanium are used to make an intimate bond to the bone. The
complications related to the dental implants occur during the process of
surgery such as bleeding and nerve injury. Complications such as
infection and failure to osseointegrate, can also occur after the
surgery. For the success of osseointegration, sufficient amount of
healing time is necessary before the dental prosthetic is attached to
the implant. This book outlines the processes and applications of modern
implant dentistry in detail. It is a valuable compilation of topics,
ranging from the basic to the most complex advancements in this field.
With state-of-the-art inputs by acclaimed experts of this field, this
book targets students and professionals.
