Les dents manquantes et les diverses tentatives pour les remplacer ont représenté un défi thérapeutique tout au long de l'histoire de l'humanité. Au cours des trois dernières décennies, des progrès significatifs ont été réalisés dans l'utilisation clinique des implants oraux et maxillo-faciaux. Actuellement, les implants sont une modalité de traitement bien acceptée servant de structures transmuqueuses pour soutenir les dents unitaires, les prothèses partielles fixes, les reconstructions complètes de l'arcade et pour reconstruire les défauts maxillo-faciaux. Les cliniciens...

Missing teeth and the various attempts to replace them have presented a treatment challenge throughout human history. Over the past three decades, significant advances have occurred in the clinical use of oral and maxillofacial implants. Currently, implants are a well accepted treatment modality serving as transmucosal structures to support single teeth, fixed partial dentures, complete-arch reconstructions and to reconstruct maxillofacial defects. Clinicians must have the knowledge of the cellular and molecular events that lead to osseointegration, because such knowledge is essential to...

Fehlende Zähne und die verschiedenen Versuche, sie zu ersetzen, stellten in der gesamten Menschheitsgeschichte eine Behandlungsherausforderung dar. In den letzten drei Jahrzehnten wurden bedeutende Fortschritte bei der klinischen Anwendung von Mund- und Kieferimplantaten erzielt. Derzeit sind Implantate eine gut akzeptierte Behandlungsmethode, die als transmukosale Strukturen zur Unterstützung einzelner Zähne, festsitzender Teilprothesen, vollständiger Zahnbogenrekonstruktionen und zur Rekonstruktion von maxillofazialen Defekten dienen. Zahnärzte müssen über Kenntnisse der zellulären...

Esthetics considerations in implant dentistry play a crucial role in achieving natural-looking and functional restorations. The goal is to create implants that seamlessly blend with the surrounding teeth in terms of color, shape, size, and overall harmony. Key factors influencing implant aesthetics include proper treatment planning, soft tissue management, bone preservation, and the selection of appropriate prosthetic materials.Advancements in digital dentistry, such as CAD/CAM technology and guided implant placement, have significantly improved aesthetic outcomes. Additionally, the role of...

"Implant Occlusion: Principles and Practice" offers a comprehensive exploration of occlusion in dental implant therapy. The book delves into the critical relationship between implant restorations and natural teeth, emphasizing how proper occlusal alignment influences the longevity and function of dental implants. It covers fundamental principles of occlusion, including the biomechanics of implant-supported prostheses, diagnosis of occlusal issues, and strategies for achieving balanced and functional bite relationships. With practical guidance, case studies, and evidence-based recommendations,...
