Having purchased a total of 4 implant books and been on numerous implant course, there were always gaps in my knowledge as none of these courses or books for that matter seem to cover everything that's relevant in detail, or in a manner that is understandable. I have therefore become increasingly very frustrated wasting my money on rubbish [for lack of a better word]. It was therefore a breath of fresh air to finally find and purchase a book that covers most of implant dentistry in a clear, organised and understandable manner with many images and pictures. Carl often uses analogies to explain his point which helps a lot. A good teacher is someone who makes a seemingly complex subject easy to understand. My only criticism is that there is less emphasis on the actual prosthetic stages step-wise, but I believe this is covered in 'Implant Restorations: A Step-by-Step Guide' by Carl Drago which I will also purchase soon. Once again, an excellent purchase, well worth the money!!!
