Single-Tooth Implants: A Comprehensive Guide for Dental Practitioners

By Dennis P. Tarnow and Stephen J. Chu

Replacing a single tooth with an implant is one of the most common clinical situations dental practitioners face daily. In the past, dental professionals would let the extraction sockets heal for months before attending to the remaining alveolar ridge. Today, excellent results can be achieved with single-step procedures, which is a significant advantage for both patients and practitioners.

This book, written by two renowned experts in clinical dentistry, provides practical and detailed evidence-based concepts for single-tooth implants in the front and posterior teeth regions. It covers the basics and classification of extraction sockets, followed by an in-depth discussion on extraction, implantation, and management of various extraction sockets with their indications.

Comprehensive Coverage of Clinical Requirements

A dedicated chapter elaborates on the special clinical requirements in the posterior teeth region, followed by a chapter on impression, cementation, and complications. The book concludes with eleven fully documented clinical cases that demonstrate successful procedures for single-tooth implant restoration under different conditions.

The authors’ expert guidance enables dental practitioners to achieve optimal results in single-tooth implant restoration, enhancing their skills and confidence in this critical area of dental care.
