An extensive overview of implant dentistry, focusing on the prosthodontic principles for restoring both fully and partially edentulous patients. Content is structured around various clinical scenarios, including the restoration of the edentulous maxilla and mandible using overdentures and fixed prostheses, as well as specialized topics like implants in irradiated tissues and orthodontic applications. Significant attention is given to implant biomechanics, encompassing factors such as screw retention versus cementation, implant angulation and positioning, and the impact of different prosthetic materials like metal-ceramic and zirconia. Furthermore, the text examines the biologic sequence of osseointegration, discussing variables such as surface topography and the challenge of managing peri-implantitis and bone resorption.
