Very specialized
This product is good for an oral surgeon. Not for the regular periodontist, or general dentist. Too advanced for the regular reader.

A very comprehensive book on dental implant surgery
Michael Block is considered one of the pioneers in implant dentistry with countless publications in peer reviewed journals and serving on the board of several academies.It is to no surprise that this book features the very latest in dental implant surgeries and associated grafting procedures.The book is well written and documented with excellent illustrations and images.This is also a great book for the general dentist who does not perform surgery, because it puts the entire implant treatment progression into a very good perspective for successful treatment planing.

Michael Block is an extraordinary educator and this text demonstrates his teaching abilities and his knowledge of implant dentistry. He sits on the education committees of several scientific academies for a reason. There is content appropriate for all dentists, not just Oral Surgeons.

Implants in Clinical Dentistry
I found this book very well organized, well illustrated and easy to read.It was full of practical advice for the practitioner wishing to place and/or restore implants.It gave unbiased information on how to surgically place and restore single and multiple fixed cases as well as removable implant cases using four different implant sysyems (Nobel Biocare, Astra Tech, Strauman and Frialit) but their advice could easily be applied to other implant systems.
The book was full of useful tables , diagrams and color illustrations.I think it would serve as an excellent reference book for any dentist wanting to embark on or expand their scope of practice in implant dentistry. ... Read more

Basic Principles Still Apply
Dental implants are hot. They are the trendy things to do and more and more patients are asking for them. Not only that, more and more surgical cases are now handled by general dentists like myself. Even though I consider myself an experienced implant practitioner, I still need to refer to this book every now and then to remind myself of the basic principles to follow. There are neat tables showing the relative risk for various clinical situations and also a trouble-shooting list at the end. The information is by no means exhaustive and different systems may have different ways to overcome the problems, but basics still apply.

Even though the external hex implants featured in the book are all but outdated, this book is still a valuable resource for new as well as experienced implant practitioners doing pre-surgical risk assessment. ... Read more

Extemporaneous riff
My mother-in-law has false teeth. Full set of choppers. Lost them all before she was 20. In the US.

Just saying.

No one, not even her husband of half a century, has seen her without the teeth in. She gave birth with teeth in!

Just saying. I shouldn't make sport. I don't devote much time to dental hygeine beyond brushing once or twice a day. Floss, feh! I'll end up with store-boughts eventually, too, I guess. (But I'll take 'em out to scare door-to-door pests!)

Good Intro, Short On Details
This book tells you what to look out for during examination and diagnosis and how to make use of study casts for treatment planning. I find the chapters on bone grafting to be especially helpful.

However, there are 2 problems. As expected in this sunrise industry, the implant systems featured in the book are already quite outdated. I can't imagine myself using an external hex anymore. Restoration nowadays is also a lot less complicated with a wider range of abutments and other accessories.

Secondly, the surgical techniques are almost never explained in detail. Perhaps an interactive handson course would be better able to impart that, but if you're a newbie, don't expect to learn much about surgical procedures. A bit disappointing for me when I first bought it, given the size and price of the book.

What Every Young Dentist Should Know And Not Be Afraid to Ask
This comprehensive dental implant textbook is a must for the dentist who wants to be well informed on the intricacies of placing and restoring dental implants.

From case selection to surgical technique and prosthetic applications, this book is not only informative, but should be reviewed regularly.Even maintenance and hygiene protocols are addressed in wonderful detail.

The young dental student coming out of their program needs to comprehend many techniques not completely taught in dental school.Dental implants have proven to be a viable alternative to conventional dental treatment and need to be understood well to discuss with potential patients.

Dr. Babbush has done a wonderful job going through the physiology and technical aspects of modern dental therapy.

Wow
This book is nothing but articles copypasta'd off Wikipedia and sold at a ludicrously high price, with NO editing or proofreading at all. The articles are not checked for accuracy, or cleaned up, so the text in the printed book is rather clunky, with poor-quality black and white images.

Not only that, but they picked a picture of a guy in PAIN for the cover. Not very encouraging for a book on dentistry, no?

5 out of 5 dentists agree that this book is terrible. These same dentists also recommend that you brush at least twice a day. ... Read more

Older edition than I thought I was getting.
Timing was good.Just didn't list what edition it was and I was disappointed.

contemporary implant dentistry

This book is akin to the Bible of implant dentistry. It is very comprehensive and enlightening yet easy to read as a text book or a reference source. Suitable for novice or experienced implantologist who consistently look for optimum and predictable results in their treatment to patients.I regard the book as one of the most valued book in my personal collections.

Don't do Dental Implants Without This Book
I have taken over 200 hours of implant continuing education.If someone had recommended this book my learning experience would have far exceeded the otherwise great education I recieved.

This book is very comprehensive, well organized and covers just about every aspect of implant dentistry in great detail.

Excellent guide-step by step-love it!
I have to have an implant within the next few months. I highly recommend this guide-it's concise and provides the background you need to have the procedure. It also contains some interesting historical facts, but is written for the every-day reader. Excellent resource for this procedure!

Concise, Unbiased Information
This book provides a very useful guide for patients contemplating dental implants. It is clearly written, printed in large typeface and gives just the right amount of information to help potential implant patients make up their minds.

However, I find the book cover a bit too thin. It keeps curling up and the 4 pages of colour photos seem like the colour separator didn't do a very good job. I would still recommend that my patients read the book for its great content.

Very informative
I had a general idea about how dental implants work, but this book really educated me. If you're thinking about implants, this book will really help you understand what to expect. Easy to read and understand.

The only book you'll need to read on the subject
I have heard so much about dental implants in the past few years, with more people asking for them, and more dentists offering them. I have a crown that really should be replaced, and I wanted to get an implant. This seemed like the best book to read on the subject, based on the title, so I got a copy. It's everything the title says. Easy to understand, a quick read and a thorough explanation ... in language that I can understand. Thinking about implants? Read this book! ... Read more

I am a post-graduate student(first resident) and major in periodontics. I have seen this book in the library in 1998.
