Articles will include: Current Concepts for the Biological Basis for Dental Implants;Digital Technologies for Dental Implant Treatment Planning and Guided Surgery; Simple Bone Augmentation for Alveolar Ridge Defects; Complex Bone Augmentation for Alveolar Ridge Defects;�Maxillary Sinus Bone Augmentation Techniques; Fixed Dental Implant Prosthodontics; Removable Dental implant Prosthodontics;�Immediate Extraction Placement of Dental Implants; Esthetic Site Development with Bone Graft and Guided Bone Regeneration;�Complications from Dental Implants: Hard Tissue; CT Scanning and Diagnosis For Dental Implants, and more!

These are exciting times for the diverse group of surgeons who perform craniomaxillofacial surgery. The AO/ASIF (Swiss Association of Internal Fixation) has played a crucial role in the growth of this field through its leadership in research, teaching, and cooperation with industry. As clinicians fascinated by the extraordinary progress in the field, the goal is to advance this new knowledge by teaching AO/ASIF courses and writing textbooks that supplement these courses and related workshops. This textbook adopts the case presentation format used in Craniomaxillofacial Fractures: Pr- ciples of Internal Fixation Using the AO/ASIF Technique. The breadth of the subject meant that a coeditor was advisable and, fortunately, Joachim Prein accepted that role. To make this a c- prehensive textbook, 75 international authorities wrote chapters in the areas of oral and m- illofacial surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, and otolaryngology and head and neck surgery. This textbook presents progress in craniomaxillofacial surgery through the technical and sci- tific advances in biomaterials, microvascular surgery, dental implantology, and surgical techniques. Section I covers basic considerations in the diagnosis of craniomaxillofacial defects and disorders.

This in-depth revision of the successful first edition is one of the only books of its kind to cover the full range of craniomaxillofacial reconstructive and corrective bone surgery. This evolving field has a large number of contributions by worldwide clinicians covering new developments, especially in biomaterials, digital technologies, virtual surgical planning, patient specific implants, and navigation. These topics appeal to Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, Plastic Surgeons, ENT/Head and Neck Surgeons, and Neurosurgeons. Complete with updates on popular topics from the first edition, such as advanced jaw reconstruction with stem cells and tissue engineering, wide varieties of microvascular flaps, orthognathic surgery, endoscopic skull base surgery, dental implantology, craniofacial surgery and facial allotransplantation.

Digital technologies are changing the way that surgeons operate. This book provides information on the latest digital technologies available for craniomaxillofacial surgery, discussing how this technology allows for preplanned procedures with improved and superior outcomes.
