Product Description
Turn to this new third edition for consistent outcomes on even your most complex implant cases! World-renowned dental implantologist Carl E.

Comprehensive Implantology for GP

This book is a tremendous investment, especially as pre-reading prior to taking workshops. It presents so many pieces of implantology for general dentists, in a concise and chronological order, and with numerous diagrams and photographs. The only thing I would change is to have the information presented in two volumes, as the book is very heavy and difficult to move around.

One of the most comprehensive books on Implant Dentistry

This third addition maintains its thoroughness and scientific background with respect to virtually all aspects of implant dentistry. All chepters are well written and follow a logical sequence. New concepts and developments since the second edition are well integrated and substantiated with excellent references. This is a very good book for all dental and medical professionals.

Excellent textbook and manula for implantology

This book is an invaluable addition to any dentist's library, who is looking to practise implantology. It contains extensive discussion on biomechanic that justify every step we do in the placement on implant supported-prostheses.

Must Have Text

This is a must have book for those who actually care to learn about implant dentistry from one of the leading figures in the field. Each chapter is well written and complete. You can access each chapter if you seek out specific information, or you can read the entire text front cover to last page.
Highly recommend this book.
