Preprosthetic and Maxillofacial Surgery: Biomaterials, Bone Grafting and Tissue Engineering

One of the most important factors in ensuring successful osseointegration is the stability of the implant after its insertion. In order to achieve optimum conditions for implantation, it is often necessary to prepare the area and reconstruct the bone to ensure that it is the correct shape and size for the implant. "Preprosthetic and Maxillofacial Surgery" provides a thorough review of the current status and future direction of this important field. Part 1 reviews bone grafting for implantology and reconstructive preprosthetic surgery. Chapters in Part 2 discuss reconstruction and rehabilitation while the final group of chapters analyze tissue engineering applications.
