Preface
The concept of osseointegration and its application to dental practice were
introduced into North America at the beginning of the 1980s. Since then,
many changes have taken place, not in the basic theory and to only a limited
extent in surgical technique, but predominantly in the refinement and
sophistication of the prosthodontic or dental restorative phase of
treatment. The original edition of this book—entitled Osseointegration in
Dentistry: An Introduction—has now been revised and expanded with the
intention of providing the reader with insight into the developments that
have taken place on the basis of further experiments and clinical
experience.
It remains the intention of the editors to direct this book to the dental
student, as well as to the practicing dentist, who wishes to understand the
place of osseointegration in the overall scheme of oral reconstruction. Many
chapters have been rewritten and other sections have been added to address
previously neglected topics such as the placement of implants in the
esthetic zone, variations in abutment design, and the role of
osseointegrated implants in more advanced procedures. The student is again
advised to follow a path of stepwise learning, proceeding from the simpler
to the more complex.
