Description: "This book, which is based upon the author's experience in training dentists over a number of years, seeks to meet the following basic requirements: 1 - To provide a simple but sound general introduction to implants for the dental practitioner and to offer fundamental information which will enable the clinician to recognize suitable patients; to use essential diagnostic techniques; and to provide valuable guidelines for patient rehabilitation with implant supported prostheses. 2 - To provide an introduction to the essentials of implant surgery and to encourage those who would wish to undertake this surgery to benefit from additional training. 3 - To create a basic awareness of the requirements for prescribing implant supported prostheses for patients who have undergone implant surgery, in relation to the treatment planning phase, and to consider the commitment of both the dental team and the patient to each other, over subsequent years."--BOOK JACKET.
