Description
Quintessence The Osteoperiosteal Flap: A Simplified Approach To Alveolar Bone Reconstruction by Jensen
For private practice clinicians in oral surgery, Jensen, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, compiles 22 chapters on alveolar bone graft augmentation for dental implantology in a handbook that moves away from the idea of implant success and insertion of titanium into bone to one of gingiva-alveolus-implant success and alveolar reconstruction. The volume argues that alveolar bone should determine the success of implant restoration and details the use of osteoperiosteal flaps to restore the form, function, and vitality of the alveolar bone. A group of oral and maxillofacial surgeons, prosthodontists, periodontists, dentists, and others from the US, Israel, Europe, and Japan address the biological basis of the osteoperiosteal flap, distraction osteogenesis techniques, pedicled segmental osteotomy techniques, restorative techniques, and developing technologies.
