Bone Augmentation by Anatomical Region - Techniques and Decision-Making

Comprehensively describes bone augmentation techniques and their application to the different anatomical regions of the upper and lower jaws.Bone Augmentation by Anatomical Region is a unique, evidence-based guide focusing on each specific anatomical region - anterior maxilla, posterior maxilla, anterior mandible, and posterior mandible - in order to emphasize the correct implemented procedures needed to successfully perform oral osseous reconstruction.Numerous ridge augmentation techniques are covered, including: horizontal and vertical guided bone regeneration, autologous block transplantation, interpositional bone grafting, allogeneic blocks, sandwich technique, split-expansion ridge technique, and sinus floor grafting. Non-augmented approaches such as forced socket site extrusion and the installation of digitally printed implants are also presented and discussed.* Guides readers on tackling bone augmentation via anatomical region of the jaws and their related surrounding muscles, vascularization and innervation* Presents innovative augmentation techniques for the anterior maxilla, posterior maxilla, anterior mandible, and posterior mandible* Includes clinical photographs in each section and a decision tree to help readers select the appropriate surgical modalityBone Augmentation by Anatomical Region is a specialist resource suitable for dentists who practice implant dentistry, oral surgeons, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, periodontists, and postgraduate dental students in the above-mentioned disciplines.Please noteDue to recently developments, part of Chapter 2 Biologic Conditions for Bone Growth and Maintenance: Managing the Oxidative Stress has been amended which will be available in all future reprints. All electronic versions have been updated.
