Immediate molar implants

There is no single method for immediate implant placement at molar sites, but each technique requires the same prerequisites: careful case selection and planning, a good working knowledge of bone anatomy and biology, expertise in localized and indirect sinus floor elevations, and knowledge of when and how to use particulate bone grafting. However, even with this knowledge, clinicians need guidelines to ensure predictable success.

This book is that guide. It brings together clinical experts in the field who have conducted research on immediate molar implants over the past decade and describes current best practices to ensure implant success.

Emphasis is placed on implant site assessment, particularly with regard to molar septum classification and optimal implant positioning in the molar socket. The role of digital treatment planning and guided surgery is discussed, as is the application of bone grafts and other biomaterials to promote healing.

Immediate molar implants have become a more viable treatment option than ever before, and this book will help clinicians move forward with confidence.
