Implant Therapy

The integrated treatment plan places the individual patient at the centre of the diagnostic and therapeutic process. Therefore, the concept of an integrated treatment plan seeks to satisfy the patient's wishes and expectations, from both comprehensive and interdisciplinary perspectives, involving the application of state-of-the-art technology as well as the expertise and support of the medical and dental specialities. This text delves into the process of constructing a diagnosis and assessing the potential risk factors and then describes step-by-step some of the more recent surgical procedures for patients who are candidates for implant therapy. Each phase covered is accompanied by clear references to its scientific background in order to provide the reader with bibliographic support for further study. Most procedures are illustrated with photographs and anatomical drawings.
