Volume 7 of the ITI Treatment Guide series provides clinicians with the latest evidence-based information on the techniques and materials utilized for ridge augmentation. An up-to-date analysis of the current evidence is based in part on the proceedings of the ITI Consensus Conferences in Stuttgart (2008) and Bern (2013) and on a review of the current literature. Twelve clinical cases demonstrate the planning and treatment principles required to successfully rehabilitate patients with varying degrees of ridge atrophy.The ITI Treatment Guide series is a compendium of evidence-based implant-therapy techniques and procedures for daily practice. Written by renowned clinicians and supported by contributions from expert practitioners, the ITI Treatment Guides provide a comprehensive overview of various clinical options. The management of different clinical situations is discussed with an emphasis on sound diagnostics, evidencebased treatment concepts, and predictable treatment outcomes with minimal risk to the patient.

Die Augmentation des Alveolarfortsatzes ist in der Medizin etwas Besonderes, denn sie bietet die Möglichkeit der echten biologischen Regeneration des Kieferknochens. Mit seinem Buch leistet der Autor einen entscheidenden Beitrag zu Wissensmanagement und Urteilsfindung auf diesem dynamischen Gebiet. Es beginnt mit den Grundlagen zur Augmentationschirurgie, Knochenregeneration und Wundheilung sowie zu Transplantaten und Materialien. Die folgenden Kapitel umfassen die augmentativen Techniken wie Knochentransplantation, Weichteilmanagement und Standardoperationstechniken. Die letzten Kapitel sind besonderen klinischen Herausforderungen und der Frage gewidmet, welches Verfahren für welche Situation und welchen Patienten die höchste Sicherheit und das beste Ergebnis bietet. Ergänzt werden die Kapitel durch step by step bebilderte klinischen Fälle, die das jeweilige Thema anschaulich und nachvollziehbar machen. Das Buch richtet sich an alle Zahnärzte als Einführung in das Thema Augmentation. Gleichermaßen bietet es erfahrenen Kollegen, Oral- und MKG-Chirurgen viele praktisch umsetzbare Hinweise.

The deepest understanding of the cells of the oral system will be found in decoding their communication and seeing how it is regulated. Once we have understood their language, clinicians might be able to talk to cells and control their action.This book by 47 world-renowned experts – for each chapter at least one clinician and one basic scientist – highlights a reliable and actual state of research regarding this topic that quickly moves forward. Beyond the classic cell types addressed in the first part of the book, organ systems or model systems of cell-to-cell communication of a more generic type are presented in four additional chapters in the second part. A special feature are the colored scanning electron microscopic (SEM) images, created to eloquently illustrate and explain the function of the depicted cell types.This book – accompanied by an augmented reality (AR) app that allows you to experience the process of bone resorption virtually – should help to open the vision of how we can regenerate tissues and heal diseases by controlling the language of the cells, and shows us the direction in which research and therapy will go in the future.

Bone and soft tissue augmentation of the alveolar ridge is fairly unique in medicine, because true biologic regeneration of lost alveolar bone is achievable. With this book, the author makes a fine contribution to knowledge management and clinical judgment in this dynamic field. The book begins with the basics of jaw atrophy, biology of bone regeneration, and wound healing, as well as grafts and materials. Subsequent chapters cover standard augmentation techniques such as bone grafting and soft tissue management, fully explaining available augmentation techniques for even the most demanding surgeons. The final third of the book is dedicated to a clinical decision-making scheme for different situations, challenges in the esthetic region, posterior jaws, and fully edentulous ridges. The chapters are supplemented with step-by-step clinical cases that illustrate the respective topic in a clear and comprehensible way. The book aims to introduce general dentists to the field of bone and soft tissue augmentation. It also offers more experienced colleagues, including oral and maxillofacial surgeons, many practical tips, particularly with regard to complication management.
