It takes its readers through the entire process, starting with the assessment of the patient’s individual esthetic risk profile and proceeding to ideal three-dimensional implant placement and proven prosthetic management options.

Volume 1 is currently available in English, German, Italian, Brazilian-Portuguese, Japanese and Chinese. Further langages may follow.
