Successful implant therapy requires far more than technical proficiency; it depends on meticulous diagnostic data collection, careful organization of information, and thoughtful analysis to support sound clinical decision-making that synthesizes medical and dental histories, clinical examinations, radiographic and 3D imaging, prosthetic requirements, anatomical limitations, and patient-centered considerations. This book seeks to help by providing clinicians with a structured, systematic approach to diagnostic evaluation, treatment planning, and procedural execution. Emphasizing concise, procedure-oriented frameworks in the forms of checklists and guidelines, it offers a focused review of the critical elements required for proper case assessment, planning, and execution, reinforcing best practices and enabling clinicians to better navigate the inherent complexity of oral implantology and ultimately deliver safer, more predictable, and higher-quality outcomes for their patients. Consent forms and postoperative instructions are included for use in daily practice.

Over the past two decades, the world of Periodontology and Implantology has undergone an incredible clinical and scientific development. Numerous surgical approaches have been refined to improve clinical performance and tested in randomized trials, demonstrating their efficacy and generalizability.

Perio Esthetics is a journey through the incredible evolution of modern periodontal and peri-implant plastic-reconstructive surgery. The book offers to the reader a perspective on treatments such as surgery for single and multiple gingival recessions, gummy smile surgery, prosthetic cases in the esthetic zone, gingival augmentation around teeth with all harvesting procedures and regenerative periodontal surgery. In terms of peri-implant surgery, the text analyzes implant placement procedures in the esthetic zone, hard tissue reconstruction techniques such as horizontal and vertical guided bone regeneration and various peri-implant soft tissue reconstruction procedures.

A guided journey featuring over 2,000 surgical images and 34 videos shot under an operating microscope, offering to students, clinicians, specialists, or simply enthusiasts a unique vision on esthetic-reconstructive treatments that are today critical for quality of treatment and patient satisfaction.

Health care providers performing surgical and minimally invasive facial esthetic procedures require a clear, three- and four-dimensional understanding of the underlying facial anatomy. Recent research has revealed numerous new insights into this topic that lay the foundations for administering the best possible clinical care.

This Atlas compiles the latest scientific findings on facial layer-by-layer anatomy and translates complex concepts into a unique visual experience based on the “Cotofana Dissection Method.” The result is a visual guide for esthetic facial treatments that provides both a reliable source of knowledge and an evidence-based foundation for clinical practice.

Contents

CHAPTERS
Forehead, Temples, Glabella, Supraorbital, Infraorbital, Nose, Medial Midface, Lateral Midface, Lips

OUTSTANDING ILLUSTRATIONS
Based on clinical dissections, the illustrations visualize the functional layers of the face according to the latest scientific findings.

PRACTICAL GUIDANCE
The text provides orientation and safety tips for esthetic and surgical facial procedures by highlighting clinically relevant anatomic details.

A complete denture must restore not only the patient’s ability to masticate food, along with appropriate esthetics and phonetics, but also replace the hard and soft tissues lost due to atrophy. Unfortunately, the necessary knowledge and skills to manage these complex rehabilitations has increasingly been forgotten in the education of dentistry and dental technology. While the dental industry has introduced new manufacturing protocols and developed new materials to simplify the process of denture-making, this “progress” has done little to improve patient care. On the contrary, patients are more than ever supplied with insufficient prosthetics, often the result of cost pressure in the laboratory, lack of training opportunities, and economic considerations by the treating dentist. The one who suffers is of course the patient, as these individuals will often accept even the most suboptimal solutions as an inevitable result of their tooth loss. Steffen Rohrbach wants to change that, promoting the notion that functional full dentures must not be a privilege of prosperity but accessible to every patient who needs them. And that starts with educating and equipping dental professionals to treat these cases well. This book records the treatment concepts that have benefitted his patients over the years and is intended to be a work of reference for diligent clinicians and dental technicians who want to improve patient care and deliver exceptional dentures to every patient who comes seeking their help.
