Bone and soft tissue augmentation of the alveolar ridge is
fairly unique in medicine, because true biologic regeneration of lost
alveolar bone is achievable. With this book, the author makes a fine
contribution to knowledge management and clinical judgment in this
dynamic field. The book begins with the basics of jaw atrophy, biology
of bone regeneration, and wound healing, as well as grafts and
materials. Subsequent chapters cover standard augmentation techniques
such as bone grafting and soft tissue management, fully explaining
available augmentation techniques for even the most demanding surgeons.
The final third of the book is dedicated to a clinical decision-making
scheme for different situations, challenges in the esthetic region,
posterior jaws, and fully edentulous ridges. The chapters are
supplemented with step-by-step clinical cases that illustrate the
respective topic in a clear and comprehensible way. The book aims to
introduce general dentists to the field of bone and soft tissue
augmentation. It also offers more experienced colleagues, including
oral and maxillofacial surgeons, many practical tips, particularly with
regard to complication management.
