Dental Implants:
A Guide for the General Practitioner
Michael Norton

This book will be invaluable to general dental practitioners in that it will provide fundamental information; help them to recognise suitable patients by using essential diagnostic techniques; and to understand the essentials of the surgical placement of implants. In addition a substantial part of the book covers the range of prosthodontic procedures and the rehabilitation of patients with implant supported prostheses.

As implants are now recognised as an important option for many treatment plans, all dentists should be able to give appropriate and relevant guidance to those patients who might be able to benefit from them.

Based upon the author's experience in training dentists over a number of years, this book seeks to meet the following basic requirements:

1 To provide a simple but sound general introduction to implants which will enable the clinician to recognise suitable patients; to use essential diagnostic techniques; and to provide valuable quidelines for patient rehabilitation with implant supported prostheses.

2 To provide an introduction to the essentials of implant surgery and to encourage those who would wish to undertake this surgery to benefit from additional training.

3 To create a basic awareness of the requirements for prescribing implant supported prostheses for patients who have undergone implant surgery.

From the foreword by Colin Hall Dexter: nothing has been published before that gives a general practitioner such a comprehensive overview of implant dentistry, with guidance as to patient selection and a clear understanding of exactly how patients may benefit from implants.
