Infos

Bone loss is still a major issue that dentists encounter, but it is a complication that can be prevented. This book combines years of clinical experience with peer-reviewed scientific evidence to present the different strategies that can be used to achieve zero bone loss—not just months after prosthetic delivery but years after treatment. The book is divided into sections on surgical techniques and prosthetic techniques, and there are case studies with recommendations and procedures for many types of clinical situations, implant choices, and prosthetic solutions.

Autor

Tomas Linkevicius, DDS, Dip Pros, PhD, is a professor at Vilnius University in Vilnius, Lithuania, where he completed his postgraduate studies in prosthetic dentistry and obtained his prosthodontist specialty. Dr Linkevicius received his dental degree in 2000 from Kaunas Medical University in Kaunas, Lithuania and defended his doctoral dissertation at Rīga Stradins University in Rīga, Latvia in 2009. Dr Linkevicius has authored dozens of publications in international peer-reviewed journals. He has also contributed to several books, including Cementation in Dental Implantology (Springer, 2015) and Implants in the Aesthetic Zone (Springer, 2019). During the course of his research, Dr Linkevic˘ius developed zero bone loss concepts, an evidence-based clinical protocol that demonstrates how to achieve and maintain crestal bone stability around dental implants. He lectures internationally on this topic and is an active member of several professional organizations, such as the Academy of Osseointegration and the European Academy of Osseointegration. Dr Linkevicius maintains a practice specializing in prosthodontics and implant dentistry and continues to study zero bone loss concepts at the Vilnius Research Group.
