Within the scope of the ever-evolving and exciting speciality of esthetic dentistry, Volume 1 of the IFED Esthetic Treatment Guide, edited and curated by Jaime A. Gil, Robert Sader, and Alfonso L. Gil, is a welcome and timely addition to current knowledge. From chapters on esthetic implant site development and ridge augmentation to how to best manage esthetic complications in implant placement, the book also examines bone, soft tissue and sinus augmentation, thus providing a comprehensive perspective and description of current techniques and approaches in this field of dentistry.
Implant placement in the esthetic zone and the anterior maxilla can be challenging for both clinician and patient. Volume 1 of this IFED guide is a welcome and needed addition to the clinician's armamentarium when dealing with implants in the esthetic zone.
All techniques discussed in the book are beautifully illustrated with high-resolution photographs and images that help the clinician to understand and apply these techniques in the context of their day-to-today clinical practice. Case studies are used to complement and further illustrate the issues and solutions highlighted in each chapter, thus grounding theory into real-world practice.
