Modern concepts in preimplant surgery will provide a comprehensive review of the current status and future directions of this important field. Part 1 reviews the latest research in biomaterials for preprosthetic surgery and maxilla-facial reconstruction. Chapters in Part 2 discuss
bone grafting techniques with topics such as Symphyseal and alveolar reconstruction and the widening of the alveolar process aiming implant insertion. Part 3 reviews applications with chapters on such topics as Implants in congenital missing teeth, Alveolar reconstruction in cleft for implant rehabilitation and Bone reconstruction in irradiated situations. The final group of chapters discuss tissue engineering with regard to preimplant surgery. Chapters cover bone tissue engineering, genetic engineering of the alveolar bone and teeth engineering.
