A Graftless Approach to Immediate Loading
By- Edmond Bedrossian, DDS, FACD, FACOMS, Diplomate, American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Associate Professor, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Director, Implant testing, University of the Pacific, Oral and Maxillofacial Residency Training Program Private Practice, San Francisco, California
Stay on the cutting edge of implant dentistry for the edentulous patient! Written by Dr. Edmond Bedrossian, one of only a few specialists doing zygoma implants, Treatment Planning for the Fully Endentulous Patient: A Graftless Approach to Immediate Loading covers the latest advances in implants, products, and techniques. The book discusses the broader issues of working with the edentulous patient, then describes 1-stage and 2-stage protocols, immediate loading, and the graftless approach. Also included are insightful discussions of case studies and coverage of new software that helps to improve outcomes in treatment planning and surgery.
