Integrated Esthetics in Periodontics and Implantology 1st Edition

The authors of this book have set out to produce a clear, impartial, and rational text that addresses new concepts and techniques in the daily practice of periodontics and implant dentistry. With a periodontist driven and multidisciplinary approach, the presented modalities promote a synergistic integration of esthetic principals with functional outcomes to achieve long-term predictable results. Treatments (and their limitations) are presented in detail, including many controversial techniques and clinical issues not previously described in the literature. Taken as a whole, this book provides a comprehensive approach to implant therapeutics that allows readers to determine for themselves how to best develop sound clinical treatments to withstand paradigm shifts in clinic-oriented science.
