Summary:

"This Atlas is an illustrated guide to computer-guided dental implant placement, covering both technological concepts and methods in a series of comprehensive case studies. It presents the correct strategy for diagnosis and treatment planning, application of specialized software, surgical guides used, and instruments required with step by step with illustrations. The book also discusses the numerous advantages and drawbacks of the method, along with its clinical relevance"-- Provided by publisher.

"FOREWORD A century was often used as the marker to assess changes in the world. However, the explosive rate of progress and innovation, especially in the sciences, has made the decade a more appropriate benchmark for tracking change. It has been estimated that about half of all medical knowledge becomes obsolete every five years, while the global body of scientific literature doubles every fifteen years. Moreover, the pace of discovery and advancement appears to be only accelerating. In the last two decades, dental implants have become an essential, if not routine, component of oral rehabilitation and a most reliable technique in the discipline's efforts to achieve restitutio ad integrum. However, dental implants require placement surgery, which is associated with potential risks and complications, as is any other invasive procedure. Computer-guided implant placement, which represents a major innovation in implant therapy, can significantly minimize the risks and complications related to the often inevitable proximity between the ideal implant position and vital anatomical structures or to the possible miscommunications between surgeon and restorative dentist. A clinician's enthusiasm, stemming from newly available approaches and increasingly sophisticated techniques, can be tempered by trepidation caused by the apparent complexity of novel procedures or the related information overload. Because of these concerns, a concise source of relevant material targeted to the clinician's needs is a welcome addition to the available literature. This book represents a new, timely, and focused resource for the clinician interested in computer-guided implant surgery, a treatment approach that fittingly epitomizes the current level of sophistication in oral health care"-- Provided by publisher.
