Vertical and horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation

The English bestseller now in German! This book describes the key aspects of vertical and horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation, with chapters on the surgically relevant anatomy of the floor of the mouth, augmentation in the mandible, and the anterior maxillary region, including papilla regeneration. The reconstruction of the severely resorbed maxilla with guided bone regeneration and simultaneous sinus floor augmentation, including the application of growth factors BMP-2 and PDGF in conjunction with newly developed perforated membranes, is also covered, as well as complications due to membrane exposure and the management of various degrees of graft infections. Special sections of the book further analyze the presented case studies and discuss approaches that could have potentially led to even better outcomes.
