In this guide, you will learn everything you need to know about preventing bone loss following treatment, as explained by Dr Linkevicius, drawing on his clinical experience in his daily practice.
Synopsis
Bone loss is a significant problem that dentists face on a daily basis, but it is a complication that can be prevented.
Drawing on both his clinical experience and the latest scientific evidence, Dr Linkevicius has produced a guide that any implant specialist will find invaluable for preventing bone loss following treatment. As the success of treatment depends on both surgical and prosthetic components, this book is divided into two parts, each focusing in depth on what needs to be done at each stage to achieve bone stability. This structure mirrors actual clinical treatment, as implant placement is performed first, followed by restoration.
The surgical part is responsible for establishing the stability of the bone crest and involves various factors, such as the vertical thickness of the soft tissue, the implant placement level, the position of the polished implant neck and the implant-abutment connection method. However, excellent surgical results do not last long if the implant is poorly restored. For this reason, restorative concepts are also presented that maintain the stability of the bone crest around the implants.
