The new issue of the Primary Dental Journal, ‘Implant dentistry (part two)’, is available to view online now.
Published in two part-issues (with part 1 available in Autumn 2024, guest-edited by Prosthodontics Specialist Amin Aminian FCGDent, and covering implant updates for patients in primary care) this part 2 issue focusses on clinical aspects of implant dentistry, including complications and adverse events, and recent technological advancements in the field, providing strategies for dental professionals.
The issue’s Guest Editor is Professor Ilser Turkyilmaz, Associate Dean of Digital Innovation, Professor and Chair at USA Case Western Reserve University’s School of Dental Medicine. Ilser explains the thinking behind the collection of topics in the part 2 issue:
“As we continue to advance in the field of implant dentistry, clinicians face an ongoing challenge to adopt and incorporate modern tools and materials that elevate the quality of patient care while simultaneously reducing the complexity of their workflows. Our goal with this issue is to enrich the knowledge base of both new and experienced practitioners, empowering them to achieve optimal patient outcomes…in the dynamic field of implant dentistry.”
Papers included in this issue cover a range of digital and analogue workflows, with the core emphasis on the importance of thorough treatment planning, reinforced by advanced imaging techniques. A full list of papers is listed under Issue Contents, below.
