"Soft Tissues and Pink Esthetics in Implant Therapy"

Each chapter of this highly practical guide by Daniele Cardaropoli and Paolo Casentini begins with a question-and-answer section that addresses clinicians' most frequently asked questions: Why are "pink esthetics" the most important factor in determining a good treatment outcome? When is immediate postextraction implant placement preferable, and when is it safer to carry out preservation or augmentation of the ridge? When and how can a keratinized tissue band be properly reconstructed or peri-implant soft tissues be augmented? How are peri-implant esthetic complications treated?

Citing from the literature, the authors review the prevailing best evidence to provide guidelines for treatment. With more than 90 clinical cases demonstrating a wide range of therapeutic needs, the authors explore compelling case examples to provide step-by-step analysis of techniques and explain the best treatment options in different clinical scenarios.

This book offers answers to dilemmas that every clinician faces in daily practice and outlines clear strategies for achieving optimal treatment results. For more information visit Quintessence-Shop.
