Each chapter utilizes a highly illustrated and user–friendly format to showcase key pedagogical features, including a list of take home tips summarizing the fundamental points of each chapter. New chapters include discussions of complications from drug prescribing, implant naturalization, cemented restorations, loose implant restoration syndrome, and craniofacial growth. Readers will also find more case presentations to see how complications have been managed in real–world situations.
