Many patients who are otherwise ideal candidates for implant therapy lack sufficient alveolar bone to support dental implants. This book presents all facets of bone augmentation in preparation for implant placement, including techniques for harvesting bone from the ramus, the anterior mandible, and the tibia; the various types of bone-grafting materials and their indications; step-by-step procedures for grafting the maxillary sinus and anterior alveolar ridge and for subnasal elevation and augmentation; and guidelines for the use of adjuncts such as platelet-rich plasma to enhance healing and predictability. Practitioners of implant dentistry at all levels will learn much from this book.

As of this writing, our understanding of the scientific mechanism of growth factors remains in its infancy. Primitively established in 1965 by the discovery of bone morphogenetic protein, the field of growth factor technology made stellar advances for many years despite a total lack of clinical applications. Beginning in 1998, however, the clinical science of growth factors grew exponentially, primarily as a result of studies involving the composite of growth factors known as platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Over the next 7 years, a large body of excellent clinical studies was gradually amassed to define PRP as a legitimate tool in wound healing and essentially the first set of autologous human growth factors directly available to clinical surgeons. PRP is a catalyst for success in routine as well as major reconstructive surgeries and is a critical factor in the healing of compromised wounds. However, it is only an adjunct to healing; it cannot replace the basic principles of sterility, blood supply, and the careful handling of tissues.
