"Integrated Esthetics in Periodontics and Implantology"

This book edited by Fausto Frizzera, Jamil Awad Shibli and Elcio Marcantonio jr. is different. The authors have many decades of both academic and clinical experience and have set out to produce a clear, impartial, and rational text to address new concepts and techniques that affect the daily clinical practice. Treatments (including their limitations) are described, including many controversial techniques and clinical issues not previously described in the literature. The chapter layout is presented logically and in sequence to address the different specialties in an organized and contextualized way. A comprehensive background is provided to allow readers to determine for themselves –rather than be told – how to best develop a sound clinical work. For more information visit Quintessence Shop.
