This surgical manual presents a summary of basic information on applied anatomy and biological concepts regarding osseointegration; it also analyses reabsorption patterns and how to tackle them, as well as the importance of selecting the implant that best fits each situation for an appropriate treatment plan.

In short, this book aims to be a reference manual for clinicians, either those who are new to implant treatments or those who perform them regularly, helping them to draw up logical and predictable protocols for their surgeries.
