The goal of this book, Dental Implant Treatment Planning for New Dentists Starting Implant Therapy, is to provide information for general dentists and specialists about treatment planning and placement of dental implants at their dental practice. It also serves as a guide to provide some practical answers to some questions that they might have during the initial process of placing dental implants. It is also our goal to draw from the latest dental implant studies in order to provide dentists with as much information possible prior to implementing dental implant therapy. The beginning of the book starts as a preview of dental implant planning, while the remainder of book is divided into two sections-one dealing with surgical dental implant placement and the other section dealing with dental implant restoration.
