Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Oral Implantology: Principles and Practice by Dr. Bla¿o Zlopa¿a is a monumental and comprehensive work that distills more than five decades of clinical experience, scientific insight, and pioneering innovation in modern implant dentistry. Written by one of the earliest visionaries and founders of implantology in the former Yugoslavia, this book bridges history, science, surgical precision, and practical wisdom in a way rarely seen in contemporary dental literature.Across more than 650 richly illustrated pages, Dr. Zlopa¿a presents a complete exploration of implant dentistry-from its ancient origins to the most advanced modern surgical and prosthetic techniques. The text covers essential topics such as maxillofacial anatomy, implant design, osseointegration, bone physiology, bone augmentation, occlusion, peri-implant infections, risk management, and the long-term biological response to implants. Detailed case studies, high-quality images, and step-by-step clinical sequences offer invaluable guidance to both new practitioners and experienced implantologists.Unique to this volume are two extensive, practical chapters written as conversational guides: a dialogue with a colleague, addressing key professional questions in implantology, and a conversation with the patient, illustrating real-world communication, expectations, and the psychology of care. This innovative pedagogy makes the material accessible, engaging, and immediately applicable.As both a scientific monograph and clinical atlas, Oral Implantology: Principles and Practice blends technical rigor with deep reflection. Dr. Zlopa¿a emphasizes the biological foundations of implant success, the importance of precision in implant biomechanics, and the ethical responsibility of the practitioner. His expertise-developed through decades of practice in Switzerland, the Balkans, and throughout Europe-provides invaluable insights into avoiding complications, making informed treatment decisions, and achieving predictable, beautiful results.An essential resource for dentists, oral surgeons, periodontists, prosthodontists, maxillofacial specialists, postgraduate students, and all professionals seeking a deeper understanding of implant dentistry. This work stands as both a historical testament and a modern guide-highlighting not just how implantology is practiced, but why it matters.
