Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Turn to this new third edition for consistent outcomes on even your most complex implant cases! World-renowned dental implantologist Carl E. Misch gives you expert advice and guidance on the various surgical approaches to placing implants in the revision of his best-selling classic. Over 1,000 full-color illustrations depict details of implants, related materials, and surgical procedures, while well-known contributors (Mohamed Sharawy, Martha Warren Bidez, Adriano Piatelli, and others) share a wealth of knowledge in their respective fields. This third edition provides an excellent opportunity for you to develop and refine your skills and experience more consistent, predictable clinical outcomes.

  • Thorough explanations of the rationale for implants and their specific characteristics discuss why different options work better for different patients; the rationale behind implant materials and sizes; and the overall science of osteointegrated implants - providing a full understanding of how implants behave under certain circumstances and how to make the best choices for implant patients.
  • Chapter on Diagnostic Imaging and Techniques focuses on the latest technology available to determine patient conditions, familiarizing you with recent advances and how they apply to treatment planning principles.
  • Section on Treatment Planning discusses the rationales for implant placement, variables in implants and patient conditions, and the four degrees of jaw bone density, Dr. Misch's best-known criterion for successful implant placement.
  • Prepares you for actual treatment by reviewing scientific fundamentals such as applied anatomy, biomechanical principles, current biomaterials, prevention and management of dental infections, and pharmacologic considerations.
  • Surgical procedure chapters are of benefit to the implant surgeon and are critical to the restoring dentist who wants to better understand and appreciate surgical concepts.


  • Over 1,000 full-color illustrations depict details of implants, related materials, and surgical procedures.
  • Brand-new coverage includes: Key Implant Positions and Number, Ideal Implant Surgery, Extraction Socket and Barrie Membrane Bone Grafts, Sinus Pathology and Complications of Sinus Grafts, Immediate Loading for a Single Tooth, Partially Edentulous and Completely Edentulous Patient.
  • Important updates include indications and contraindications for rationale of biomechanical treatment plans, layered approach to bone grafting, autograft block bone grafting, soft tissue surgery, and implant esthetics and maintenance.
  • A new chapter on Tissue Engineering uses current information on platelet-rich plasma membranes and other elements of tissue engineering so you can take advantage of appropriate materials.
  • Emphasis on evidence-based implant outcomes provides valuable information on which procedures have the greatest likelihood of success and lowest risk of complications.

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of the most comprehensive books on Implant Dentistry
This third addition maintains its thoroughness and scientific background with respect to virtually all aspects of implant dentistry. All chepters are well written and follow a logical sequence. New concepts and developments since the second edition are well integrated and substantiated with excellent references. This is a very good book for all dental and medical professionals.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent textbook and manula for implantology
This book is an invaluable addition to any dentist's library, who is looking to practise implantology. It contains extensive discussion on biomechanic that justify every step we do in the placement on implant supported-prostheses.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Must Have Text
This is a must have book for those who actually care to learn about implant dentistry from one of the leading figures in the field. Each chapter is well written and complete. You can access each chapter if you seek out specific information, or you can read the entire text front cover to last page.
Highly recommend this book.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Gospel of Carl
For quite a few years this remains the most comprehensive and enjoyable book in my implant library.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Everything you need to know
I have been a practicing dentist for 29 years and restoring implants since 1991. I am in the process of becoming board certified to now place my own fixtures. Misch does a fantastic job of bringing into view a number of treatment modalities and what the potential pitfalls can be if each particular step is not followed. Much better than the text book that the school is using. Anyone that is considering restoring and or placing fixtures and intends to get predictable esthetic and functional results ...
