Biomechanics of Dental Implants: Handbook for Researchers

Description:

Biomechanics is applied to many fields of dentistry including treatments involving the use of dental implants to provide a means for predicting the clinical outcome. Several experimental and theoretical approaches are being used to accomplish this goal. This book provides a brief guide to the apprentice, along with the most complete picture of clinical/animal/experimental biomechanical studies related to state-of-art dental implants. This book also includes a brief section related to post and core restorations. (Imprint: Nova)
