Facially generated treatment planning emphasizes the position of the maxillary central incisors, and the Global Diagnosis system takes this one step further by emphasizing the etiology of abnormal gingival anatomy. Once the etiology is determined, there are only a limited number of treatment options to correct the discrepancy. That is the power of the system: The diagnosis leads to the treatment plan. This completely overhauled second edition is based on the same five CORE questions of the first edition but includes a sixth: Is maxillary hypoplasia present? It welcomes 11 new authors and 16 new chapters, highlighting the use of sophisticated orthodontic, orthopedic, plastic surgery, otolaryngologic, and orthognathic strategies to resolve anatomical irregularities impacting smile design, function, and health. Airway-aware and airway-directed treatment planning is a particular focus, as well as the importance of early intervention in children to redirect aberrant growth as early as possible.

The surgical techniques used in the maxillary sinus floor augmentation procedure have a background of nearly 50 years since their initial presentation by Hilt Tatum in 1977. These surgical procedures have been the subject of numerous studies, some of the most relevant in terms of scientific evidence, demonstrating their efficacy and reliability in treating posterior maxillary atrophy.

Maxillary sinus floor surgeries are indicated for placing a single implant or treating partial or complete maxillary edentulism. They are, and will remain, an essential element of oral implantology.

This book’s chapters are written by internationally renowned authors to provide readers with an overview of essential knowledge before undergoing a maxillary sinus floor augmentation procedure.

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.
