Anaplastology provides prosthetic substitutes for lost anatomy; osseointegration makes it possible to stabilize prostheses in a reliable and predictable manner. Emphasizing the interdisciplinary, the book is composed of two parts. In Part I, patient presentations of auricular, nasal, orbital, and complex defects illustrate the art of prosthetic reconstruction. In Part II, various specialists share their experience and advice on how to optimize treatment planning and results using osseointegration to anchor prostheses.

" This book provides the prosthodontist and oral surgeon for the first time with a safe, predictable, and scientifically proven method for permanently anchoring artificial tooth abutments in the jawbones. It combines the osseointegration research results of biologists, physicists, bioengineers, oral surgeons, and prosthodontists to demonstrate step-by-step how to achieve long-term osseointegration of dental implants" -- Amazon.

Dentists are routinely faced with a huge choice of implant systems from different manufacturers, each of whom claims that its own particular system has advantages over the others. There is consequently a need for an evidence-based review of the field that offers authoritative practical guidance for dental practitioners. Oral and Cranial Implants: Recent Research Developments has been written with this in mind. It brings together all the recent key developments in implant research and discusses the underlying science relating to implant procedures and failures. Relevant literature is reviewed and clear practical advice is offered. This book will be ideal for dentists wishing to obtain a snapshot of research in the field and will also be useful for specialists in restorative dentistry. The authors are recognized leading authorities who are well equipped to evaluate the applications and challenges associated with implants.

Ear reconstruction has developed from the sole plastic reconstruction of the auricle to a more complex procedure that includes the functional rehabilitation of hearing. For the patient's benefit the number of surgeries could be reduced to two or three while still maintaining excellent results. This development is due to improvements in surgical procedures as well as technical developments such as bone-anchored hearing aids or cochlear implants. The authors of this volume have considered different aspects of reconstruction of severe ear malformation. Developments in surgery and the choice of prosthetic materials are closely examined, and the benefits of alloplastic materials in comparison to autologous cartilage are discussed. Cosmetic outcomes are not described in isolation, but with reference to improvements in patients' hearing, particularly in the context of bone-anchored and implantable hearing aids. Related fields, such as tissue engineering, hold vast untapped potential for this area. The impact they will have in the future is discussed in detail, helping to paint a picture of treatment options that will become available to professionals. This volume is an indispensable review that will be of interest to otorhinolaryngologists, plastic surgeons, maxillofacial surgeons and pediatricians

For prosthodontists and general dentists in a hospital environment who have not had the benefit of formal training in the subspecialty, practitioners and researchers review in detail prosthodontic procedures as they are applied in the maxillofacial situation. They focus on general and specific princ
