The beauty of writing a book about the single implant is that you can be fairly specific yet touch on the wider aspect of such treatment. So, when the book arrived on my desk, I was not disappointed, especially as there was a nice large title telling me what the book was about Single Implant and Restoration. Also, I was interested to see how Mahmoud Torabinejad, one of my favourite endodontic writers, would make the transition to implant specialist. Well I do not want to spoil the ending as the book is very good.
Firstly, the book has a nice layout and the navigation through it is straightforward. It has an immediate appeal and this is reinforced by the presence of a summary at the start of each chapter with outcomes. Each chapter is easy to read with high quality illustrations. It is easy to dip into as the chapters are stand-alone. It does have a traditional approach as it starts with the history of implants and then takes the reader onto diagnosis and treatment planning. The sections on bone grafting, placing bone grafts and the implant designs are well laid out and full of information. Other chapters include the basic science behind implants, moving onto restoration procedures. Finally, there are sections on dental implant maintenance and the relevance of the scientific evidence.
