This book outlines a comprehensive interdisciplinary practice philosophy designed for developing the foundation of optimal diagnosis and treatment planning in implant dentistry. Each chapter will have a comprehensive literature review followed by diagnosis, treatment planning and comprehensive patient case presentations. The goal of modern implant dentistry is no longer represented solely by successful osseointegration. In order to claim success, the definitive restorations must be surrounded by a soft and hard tissue environment in harmony with the existing dentition. This book focuses on analogue and digital workflows from single tooth to full mouth. It discusses the approach of interdisciplinary therapy which involves the combination of knowledge, skills, and experience of all the disciplines of dentistry. Information on the rationale for dental implants and surgical guidelines is provided as well as on the biomechanics of occlusion and the medical evaluation of the implant patient. Subsequent chapters cover treatment planning in the aesthetic zone, impression techniques and scanning, the role of orthodontics in implant dentistry, and screw and cemented restorations. Implant maintenance and failures and complications are discussed in the final part of this book, which is a valuable resource for a wide range of practitioners.
