Book Synopsis


Trade Review

"Overall, this edition provides a comprehensive and detailed summary of the fundamental aspects of bone augmentation in implant dentistry. The book is well laid out in defined sections making it easier for the reader to drop in and out of sections as and when they need to refer to them. There are clinical cases throughout the book that demonstrate the techniques described for readers to learn from, making the book more clinically relevant and applicable."
- Ammar Ahmed Zaki, Clinical Fellow in Prosthodontic Dentistry, Published in British Dental Journal (June 23)

"The second edition combines the best material from the previously published 2-volume edition into 1 book, with new materials and techniques presented in a concise manner....This book is an international, comprehensive, unbiased, and balanced professional literary source of knowledge presented in a logical and descriptive manner with multiple photos and videos by the best surgical experts in the discipline of implant dentistry....Reading and studying this book is time well-spent because there are multiple experts in our field presenting numerous high-level surgical techniques in a logical and concise manner. This text provides a comprehensive learning experience that will impact the health and lives of so many clinicians and their patients. This is a must have addition to the implant dentist’s personal library."
