Tilted Implants (Implant-Prosethetic Rehabilitation of the Atrophic Patient)

When presented with atrophic arches, clinicians often turn to invasive
techniques such as bone grafting or maxillary sinus augmentation.
However, using tilted implants instead can avoid these aggressive
procedures, allowing the implant support to be moved posteriorly and for
longer implants to be chosen. The implants can be loaded immediately to
support a full-arch fixed prosthesis in multiple configurations, such
as All-on-4, transsinus implants, zygomatic implants, or the authors\'
signature V-II-V technique. This book first presents the science and
clinical evidence behind the various protocols using tilted implants,
then proceeds to discuss patient evaluation, diagnostics, and planning
before diving into the methods themselves. Procedures are discussed
separately for each arch, highlighted by dozens of clinical cases
representing a diverse range of initial situations. In addition to the
surgical protocols, methods for fabricating provisional and definitive
prostheses are laid out with each step illustrated and explained. This
comprehensive volume truly covers everything a clinician needs to know
to use tilted implants with great success for their patients. Contents:
