Let world-renowned dental implantologist Carl E. Misch guide your students through the various surgical approaches to placing implants within bone. Expert advice and guidance in this updated new edition, combined with hundreds of full-color illustrations, depict details of implants, related materials, and surgical procedures. This third edition provides an excellent opportunity to develop and refine practical skills in the fast-growing field of implantology.

Chapter on Diagnostic Imaging and Techniques focuses on the latest technology available to determine patient conditions, familiarizing you with recent advances and how they apply to treatment planning principles.
Section on Treatment Planning discusses the rationales for implant placement, variables in implants and patient conditions, and the four degrees of jaw bone density, Dr. Misch’s best-known criterion for successful implant placement.
Prepares you for actual treatment by reviewing scientific fundamentals such as applied anatomy, biomechanical principles, current biomaterials, prevention and management of dental infections, and pharmacologic considerations.
Surgical procedure chapters are of benefit to the implant surgeon and are critical to the restoring dentist who wants to better understand and appreciate surgical concepts.
Over 1,000 full-color illustrations depict details of implants, related materials, and surgical procedures.
