Vertical and Horizontal Ridge Augmentation: New Perspectives 1st Edition (Scanned)

Description

This book expertly describes the key features of vertical and horizontal ridge augmentation, such as the surgical anatomy of the floor of the mouth, papilla reconstruction, the modified lingual flap and the preservation of the mental nerve during flap advancement, growth factor applications used in conjunction with perforated membranes, managing complications of membrane exposure and graft infections, and a step-by-step description of complete reconstruction of the severely resorbed maxillary ridge using GBR with simultaneous sinus augmentation. Almost all cases described include a retrospective section with suggestions on what could have been done differently to achieve even better results, making this book a frank, ambitious, and immensely informative text on the clinical practice of ridge augmentation with GBR. 1,229 illustrations Contents: Introduction Surgical Setup and Patient Preparation Membranes and Graft Materials The Intraoral Harvesting of Autogenous Bone The Surgical Anatomy of the Floor of the Mouth Principles of Vertical and Horizontal Ridge Augmentation in the Posterior Mandible Vertical Ridge Augmentation Vertical Ridge Augmentation in the Posterior Mandible Interior Mandibular Ridge Augmentation Combined Posterior Maxillary and Ridge Augmentation for Partially Edentulous Patients Horizontal Ridge Augmentation: The Sausage Technique Ridge Augmentation in the Anterior Maxilla Papilla Reconstruction in Conjunction with Vertical Augmentation in Single Tooth Defects Surgical Management of Significant Anterior Maxillary Vertical Ridge Defects: The Classification of Anterior Maxillary Vertical Defects Lateralization of the Nasopalatine Nerve: The Palatal Flap Mucogingival Surgery After Bone Augmentation New Perspectives in Mucogingival Surgery After Ridge Augmentation New Perspectives in Crestal Bone Preservation After Ridge Augmentation The Development and Maintenance of a Positive Gingival Architecture Using Single Implants in Multiple Missing Teeth Reconstruction of the Edentulous Resorbed Maxilla Complications of Bone Ridge Augmentation The Use of Growth Factors
