Implant Procedures
Guest Editor
This issue of the
Atlas of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics of North America
is de-signed to aid clinicians in several current techniques that promote efficient patient care whiledecreasing the traditional morbidity associated with major grafting procedures. The issue alsofocuses on techniques for enhancing the aesthetic result, taking into consideration preservingand creating bone in extraction sites as well as using adjunctive soft tissue procedures.The first two articles represent the author’s experiences with creating and preserving boneafter tooth extraction, as well as the use of a minimally morbid technique to augment the thinalveolar ridge. These two procedures allow for in-office procedures without the need for deepsedation and provide a ridge that can receive an implant for the final restoration of the patient.The articles by Dr. Hisham Nasr and Dr. Jon Perenack demonstrate how soft tissue procedureson the alveolus and the lips can be used to enhance the final aesthetic appearance of restorationsin the anterior maxilla. These procedures are extremely important for the patient’s benefit. Theaging process and loss of tissue support from loss of teeth can be reversed if careful treatmentplanning for the soft tissues is used. The article by Dr. Scott Ganz demonstrates the practical useof imaging to facilitate planning and rehabilitation of the patient with minimal incisions andminimal flap reflection. The use of imaging allows for preoperative fabrication of the final orprovisional restoration, which is important to our patients. The edentulous maxilla is one of themost challenging sites to achieve a fixed or fixed/removable restoration, especially in the patientwho may not desire or be a good candidate for extensive bone graft procedures. The use of recombinant protein or zygomaticus implants eliminates the need for autogenous bone grafts inselected patients. Once bone is formed or has been determined to be available, multiple implantscan be used to provide an immediate provisional or final restoration.The authors have spent considerable time and effort to submit articles that are thorough andwell thought out, providing readers with an excellent reference source. I would like to thank theauthors for their time and dedication to make this issue possible.Michael S. Block, DMD
