"This book is well written and organized. The approach is evidence based, with the majority of the focus on treatment planning for implants in patients who are partially or completely edentulous. The pairing of the book with the website is very helpful to visual learners and those who have limited experience with implant placement." (Doody Enterprises 28/04/2017)

Steven J. Sadowsky is Professor and Director of Implant Education, University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco, California, USA.

Evidence-based Implant Treatment Planning and Clinical Protocols provides a systematic approach to making treatment decisions and performing restorative procedures. Written by internationally recognized experts with clinical and academic credentials, the book draws on the best available evidence to offer current, clinically relevant guidance on implant dentistry. More than 500 high-quality images accompany the text, making it a comprehensive reference to dental implants, from planning to the surgical and restorative stage.

Topics covered encompass all aspects of implant dentistry for partially and completely edentulous patients, including imaging, materials, and new technologies. A companion website offers video clips demonstrating the procedures discussed and the figures from the book in PowerPoint. Evidence-based Implant Treatment Planning and Clinical Protocols is a thoroughly modern resource ideal for dental students, general practitioners, and specialists.
