Preprosthetic and maxillofacial surgery: biomaterials, bone grafting and tissue engineering / edited by Joël Ferri and Ernst B. Hunziker.
Woodhead Pub., c2011.

The development of oral implantology has accelerated dramatically since the discovery of osseointegration (the integration of bone and implants). The stability of the implant after its insertion is essential for successful osseointegration. In order to achieve this stability, it is often necessary to prepare the area and reconstruct the bone to ensure that the site is the correct shape and size for the implant. In maxillofacial surgery this procedure is known as preprosthetic surgery. Preprosthetic and maxillofacial surgery: biomaterials, bone grafting and tissue engineering provides readers with the fundamentals of the biology and physiology of maxillofacial bone reconstruction.
