Synopsis

When searching for a panacea in dental implant therapy, committing to a single treatment method would set any clinician up for failure, as it leads to repeating the same mistakes with increasing confidence. The range of treatment options for tooth replacement in the maxillary anterior region appears endless. For this reason, a complete overview of all possible solutions for repairing or replacing teeth in this region is not feasible.

In much the same way that law students do not learn their profession by memorizing lists of statutes, casebooks are used to encourage exploration. Law, in all its ambiguity, is rarely a static set of rules; rather, it is a constantly evolving system of principles. Casebooks, however, contain neither instructions nor explanations. A deeper understanding emerges from the critical examination of a series of cases that have been decided according to these principles. All implant strategies should take minimally invasive surgery as their starting point, since it can result in less pain, scarring, and damage to healthy tissue, as well as faster recovery than traditional surgery. Partially extracting or submerging roots may help prevent ridge collapse. Because no two cases are alike, this book demonstrates, through incremental steps, that more invasive measures cannot always be avoided, depending on the need for bone and soft tissue grafts.

Instead of producing a heavy coffee-table book that eventually ends up on a shelf, the aim was to create a folioscope or flipbook filled with time-lapse photography that is hopefully a pleasure to hold.
