This comprehensive, systematic handbook for implant prosthetic restorations has been completely revised in its second edition and is supplemented with digital workflows, all-ceramic materials, concepts for the esthetic zone, and clear handling recommendations for patients undergoing anti-resorptive therapy. Immediate restoration of the edentulous jaw, effective treatment strategies for peri-implantitis therapy, and long-term data regarding success rates are also discussed.
With more than 3,000 illustrations and a large number of decision trees, the book presents a conclusive, evidence-based concept for prosthetically guided implantation and individual treatment – systematically structured from initial planning to postoperative rehabilitation – with a focus on the optimal prosthetic treatment for the individual patient. The decisive interfaces between implantology and prosthetics, and prosthetics and dental technology, as well as between the patient and dental team are explained in detail. Anyone who wants to work in a patient-oriented way in implantology and implant prosthetics should read this book!
Stefan Wolfart
Prof Wolfart was born on June 2, 1968, in Kempten im Allgäu, Germany. He studied dentistry at Philipps University of Marburg from 1990 to 1995 and was accepted into the German National Academic Foundation in 1993. In 1996, he began his doctoral studies at the University of Marburg and completed his doctorate in 1998 with a dissertation on temperature development in dentin during dental preparation. Following his work as an assistant dentist in a private practice near Cologne, he joined the Clinic for Dental Prosthetics, Propaedeutics and Materials Science at the University Medical Center Schleswig Holstein, Campus Kiel, as a research assistant in January 1998. He was appointed senior physician in April 2000. In 2001, he was awarded the qualification Specialist for Prosthetics by the German Society for Dental Prosthetics and Materials Science. In 2006, Prof Wolfart completed the implantology curriculum of the German Society of Oral Implantology (DGI) and finalized his habilitation on the topic Evidence based assessment of dental esthetics to improve quality of life. In October 2008, he was appointed to the W3 Professorship at RWTH Aachen University and subsequently became Director of the Clinic for Dental Prosthetics and Biomaterials and the Center for Implantology at the University Hospital Aachen. For many years, his clinical and scientific focus has been on dental implantology and implant prosthetics. His research activities also include dental esthetics, the clinical evaluation of new all ceramic materials, and their impact on patients’ quality of life. Prof Wolfart is a certified implantologist of the German Society of Oral Implantology (DGI) and an ITI Fellow of the International Team for Implantology.
