Reconstructive Preprosthetic Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Description :
This updated and revised text covers all aspects of preprosthetic oral and maxillofacial surgery, with in-depth descriptions of why and how to perform classical preprosthetic procedures, and discussions of the major changes occurring in the field of reconstructive preprosthetic treatment. The text progresses from basic principles to diagnosis and treatment planning to reconstruction. The book includes three new chapters, and now covers the biological principles of ageing and immunobiology, showing how these affect the restoration of the oral cavity. Information on implant techniques is fully updated and given special emphasis, and the text also discusses the reconstruction of
the cancer patient and the cleft palate.
