This unique clinical text is designed to help guide the practitioner in treatment planning and case design for implant born restorations. It abundantly uses flow charts and clinical illustrations to aid the reader in implant treatment planning. Its most obvious benefit is as a clinical reference, to be used on a case-by-case basis. This practical topic in implant dentistry is often overlooked in more scientific texts. This book is most useful for the implant-restoring doctor, but it is beneficial for any practitioner or member of the dental implant team. With the growth of dental implants, this audience is almost the entire dental profession. Dr. Engelman has lectured extensively on this topic and is involved with the growth and education of implant dentistry. The book uses many illustrations to the point of minimal text. References are short but pertinent, and the book is organized in a unique system based on patient type. This allows the softcover text to be brought chairside and used as a clinical reference. This book is a valuable clinical reference, offering many specific facts for treatment planning and restoration of osseointegrated implants. Its main shortcoming is it specifically deals with only one of the many implant system types widely used. This is an important addition to the newest area of dentistry and fills a void as a practical clinical text. A guide to treatment planning for restorative dentists, prosthodontists, periodontists, and oral surgeons. Early chapters cover patient identification and education, the treatment planning process, and patient economy, and offer sample treatment planning forms with explanations for use. Subsequent chapters detail options for seven categories of conditions. Includes sequencing and prosthodontic procedure flowsheets. Spiral wire binding. No index.
