Do you remember back when dentures were often made with wood or ivory, and then eventually, porcelain?No? Well, that's probably good - I don't either, and because technology and medicine are advancing so fast, soon, I expect people will say similar things about the techniques being used right now, in today's dental practices.While some few experts are using the newest strategies, they're certainly not as widely used as they should be, considering the improvements. That's why I want to talk a little bit about a new series of clinician's guides being produced by the British Dental Journal (BDJ) and the British Dental Association (BDA).Each one is written by a different expert, or group of experts, and provides guidance on the latest techniques, strategies, and technology, that you should be offering your patients.The latest clinician's guide is from the mind of Dr. Saj Jivraj, and it provides comprehensive, step-by-step instructions for several advanced implant techniques optimized for edentulous patients.In this blog I'm going to tell you all about it - but if you would rather get your information straight from the source, I can't blame you. You can learn more about the book, Dr. Saj Jivraj, and the whole series of clinician's guides, at https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-32847-3In Graftless Solutions for the Edentulous Patient, which is actually an extensively revised second edition, Dr. Jivraj explores improved methods for both the planning and placement of dental implants, using advanced technological tools and manufacturing. The full clinician’s guide includes details about several commonly used methods, including guided implant surgery, graftless surgery techniques, and options for immediate loading.Of course, if you haven't caught on yet - this book is not meant for patients, but professionals. I mean, anyone is welcome to read it, and it's written in such a way that even a layman can understand much of it, but it's not exactly a riveting story of romance, daring, and adventure.Instead, Graftless Solutions for the Edentulous Patient focuses primarily on implantation and surgical techniques and includes comprehensive information about several related topics, such as prosthetic manufacturing. If you're looking for in-depth explanations of popular prosthetic manufacturing techniques, as well as comparisons of commonly used prosthetic materials, then this is the guide for you.It includes step-by-step instructions for the most up-to-date techniques for fixed implant-supported restorations for edentulous patients. The full guide explores protocols for diagnosis, treatment planning, and surgical options, as well as improved maintenance routines for the finished restorations.You can also see the results of these techniques for yourself, at Dr. Jivraj's clinic, the Anacapa Dental Art Institute. He offers a service there called the All-On-4 technique, which provides surgically implanted full-arch restorations in a single visit. Due to the advanced manufacturing and laboratory practices used by Dr. Jivraj, his clients are also able to receive warranties for both their new dentures and their implanted posts.If you want to learn more, just check out the new clinician's guide or the whole series. Each addition to the series is produced by the BDJ and provides detailed information about important updates in the field of dentistry. They're all authored by respected experts and include comprehensive practical guidance for new techniques, as well as professionally illustrated diagrams.In regards to this particular clinician's guide - maybe we should talk about Dr. Jivraj for just a minute. Maybe you've even heard of him since he's recently been showcased on both PBS and FOX News.Dr. Saj Jivraj is the founder of the Anacapa Dental Art Insitute in Oxnard, CA, and has become well-known for his work advancing implant dentistry techniques, and the All-On-4 procedure. He is also the co-founder of the Digital Dentistry Institute, a global teaching entity that trains dental professionals in advanced procedures for implant and aesthetic dentistry.If you want to stay up-to-date on all the latest techniques, tools, and implant strategies - Graftless Solutions for the Edentulous Patient is a fantastic place to start.Learn more about the new series of clinician's guides, new implant dentistry techniques, and Dr. Saj Jivraj, at https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-32847-3
