"Zero Bone Loss Concepts"

By combining clinical experience with peer-reviewed scientific evidence, Tomas Linkevicius has put together a guide that any implant specialist will find invaluable to prevent bone loss in their patients. Different strategies are presented that can be used to achieve zero bone loss years after treatment.

Because successful treatment depends on both the surgical and prosthetic components, the book is divided into two parts, each focusing in depth on what must be done in each phase to promote bone stability. Case presentations detail many types of clinical situations, implant choices, and prosthetic solutions, all backed by evidence-based clinical studies that have proven success.

“The Single-Tooth Implant. A Minimally Invasive Approach for Anterior and Posterior Extraction Sockets"

This book written by Dennis P. Tarnow and Stephen J. Chu begins with a discussion of the history and rationale for anterior and posterior single-tooth implants, and then it walks the reader through the three types of sockets-type 1, type 2, and type 3 – and their various indications and limitations. An entire chapter is devoted to clinical management of posterior teeth, followed by a chapter on cementation and impression-making techniques and complications.

The final chapter is a clinical case appendix detailing 11 cases of single-tooth replacement in all types of sockets previously described. The protocols showcased in this book will make patient care faster, easier, simpler, more predictable, and, in many cases, less costly. For more information visit Quintessence-Shop.
