Oral Implantology: Assessment To Maintenance (BDJ Clinician’s Guides)

This illustrated clinical guide is written for general dental practitioners who want a practical grounding in dental implantology, covering everything from case selection and treatment planning through to long-term maintenance. It examines the risks and benefits of implant care and sets out immediate placement, immediate loading and delayed placement protocols.

The book outlines basic surgical and restorative options, including fixed and removable approaches alongside digital and CADCAM workstreams, so clinicians with limited implant experience can follow each stage of treatment. It also addresses implant maintenance, superstructure repair and remakes, and implant removal.

Part of the BDJ Clinician’s Guides series, this first edition is published by Springer and runs to a 22.8 MB digital file. It supports dentists in discussing implant procedures with patients and carrying out routine surveillance and repair, and serves as a learning aid for undergraduate and postgraduate students.
