Advanced Immediate Loading

The author has affiliations in the US (State U. of New York at Stony Brook) and Germany (Johann Wolfgang Goethe U., Frankfurt) and is a specialist in the topic announced in the title. He enlisted help from contributors but shaped the material himself in this abundantly illustrated atlas and text. Coverage includes bone biology and osseointegration of dental implants, basic principles and clinical applications of immediate loading, the implant surface and design, histologic evaluation, and immediate loading in the anterior mandible, edentulous jaw, posterior regions, and grafted bone, and in the immunocompromised patient. Simultaneous sinus elevation, single-tooth implants, and fresh extraction sockets are addressed, and the final chapter is on management of complications.
