In addition, the clinical management of the planned implant site before and after placement through the use of provisional prostheses, laboratory communication, abutment design, restorative material selection, and delivery will be examined. This volume of the ITI Treatment Guide series provides a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to single-tooth replacement in the esthetic zone, from consultation to follow-up, with a focus on current treatment modalities and on the materials that present-day implant dentistry has to offer.The ITI Treatment Guide series is a compendium of evidence-based implant-therapy techniques and procedures for daily practice.
