he use of dental implants has become so widespread over the past few decades that scores of textbooks have been dedicated to this topic. As little as 50 years ago, the practice of dentistry did not include the modern implants, bone grafts, barrier membranes, or growth factors currently available in today’s market. It wasn’t until the late 1970s that Brånemark and his colleagues presented the two-stage threaded titanium implant procedure that we know today, following a decade of testing in various animal and human models. While the original Brånemark implant was a cylindrical fixture, over the years the shape has shifted to tapered, and many new implant types, body designs, and surface morphologies have been adopted. Entire compa- nies have been formed with the goal of delivering faster, more predictable results to our patients. Today, the field has been trending, as rapidly as ever, into the world of digital implant dentistry. This book highlights all these ground- breaking discoveries, many of which are credited to the book’s contributors—some of the most talented clinicians working in the profession today. Over 50 authors from around the world have contrib- uted to this textbook, all of them with different back- grounds and expertise in various subspecialties of implant dentistry. Chapters 1 to 4 focus on the biologic back- ground for dental implants as well as medical consider- ations required prior to placing them, and chapters 5 and 6 are dedicated to documentation, including photography and CBCT imaging. Chapters 7 and 8 focus on treatment planning and digital workflow, and chapters 9 to 18 cover many surgical concepts, from single-tooth extraction to guided All-on-X treatment. Chapters 19 to 22 focus on the prosthetic options available to us in implant dentistry, while chapters 23 to 31 hit upon additional topics related to the field. These include soft tissue management, treat- ment of peri-implant disease, the socket shield technique, and marketing of dental implant therapy. Preparing this textbook has been a massive undertak- ing. The editors wanted to bring you THE book on implant dentistry so every clinician, whether a beginner or a seasoned pro, can find what they need to practice implant dentistry well and continue to improve their skills and patient outcomes. To accomplish this goal, the book was written using only evidence-based approaches performed on a daily basis by experienced clinicians. As such, the tech- niques and advice given are based on real-world experiences in the clinic. As an added learning tool, over 60 surgical and clinical videos are included within the book (linked via QR codes) to SHOW you what these procedures and tech- niques and products look like in real life, not in photographs taken in ideal conditions. We are very proud to present this book to you, and we hope to keep it updated over time as new developments, products, techniques, and research become available. The goal will always be to provide new and experienced clinicians with the most up-to-date and evidence-based textbook writ- ten in implant dentistry. As such, it is our hope that this book will benefit all implant surgeons by adding to their current knowledge base and improving their ability to make rational, evidence-based decisions in implant dentistry.
