                                         The second volume of the book entitled “Fundamentals of Implant Dentistry” tackles the importance of an
                                         interdisciplinary approach and demonstrates how the surgeon plays a leading role during treatment planning
                                         and surgical management.
                                         The book has 13 chapters. The first four chapters speak about the basic principles of oral implantology, from the
                                         patient’s medical history to the evolution of modern dental implant and the interdisciplinary workup. The next
                                         seven chapters illustrate the basic surgical procedure used in implant dentistry, tilted and zygomatic implant, hard
                                         and soft tissue grafting, reconstruction of major defects with implants and surgical consideration of the esthetic
                                         zone and various loading protocols. The last two chapters tackle complication and follow up. The success rate of
                                         dental implants is influenced by the patient’s adequate home care.
                                         This book teaches the clinicians providing implant treatment the importance of a good surgical and prosthetic
                                         techniques and maintenance and follow up. The authors present new concept techniques and materials
                                         introduced to the field in oral implantology to provide the practitioner with success in his daily activity.
