Vertical 2: The Next Leval of Hard and Soft Tissue Augmentation

This book continues the author’s previous volume, Vertical and Horizontal Ridge Augmentation: New Perspectives, published in 2017, and describes aspects of hard and soft tissue augmentation. It has a more detailed section on the mandible and focuses on larger defects in different surgical steps in native, fibrotic, and scarred tissue types around the mental nerve during flap advancement. It includes sections on the posterior maxilla and treating the anterior maxilla, and it covers the biology of vertically and horizontally augmented bone, scientific evidence of vertical bone augmentation using a titanium-reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene mesh, reconstruction in relation to the extreme vertical defect of the posterior mandible, anterior mandibular vertical augmentation, anterior maxillary vertical augmentation, soft tissue reconstruction in conjunction with bone grafting, reconstruction of the interimplant papilla, interproximal bone and soft tissue regeneration, and esthetics and complications.
