Istvan Urban is ready to walk you through it with his new book on vertical ridge augmentation. His first book on vertical and horizontal ridge augmentation was wildly successful, but instead of doing a new edition 5 years later, he chose to dig deeper into the intricacies of the procedures to help readers really achieve excellence in their outcomes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

An entire section is dedicated to managing extreme vertical defects in the posterior mandible, including specific protocols to follow when there is scarred tissue or narrow basal bone. Dr Urban discusses the \u201cpawn sacrifice,\u201d or when you have to sacrifice a tooth to get your other chess pieces lined up\u2014namely to facilitate membrane placement or allow more room for grafting. Other sections focus on anterior maxillary and mandibular vertical augmentation, soft tissue reconstruction in conjunction with bone grafting, reconstruction of the interimplant papilla\u2014a particularly challenging thing to do\u2014interproximal bone and soft tissue regeneration, and ultimate esthetics, among others.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s particularly engaging about this new book is that it doesn\u2019t waste time or space with too much text that people won\u2019t read. He knows that dentists are visual learners, so he steps back and lets the images tell the story. The book is a show-and-tell, so to speak. As Dr Urban writes in his preface, \u201cThe idea was to keep things as clear and simple as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He also includes \u201clessons learned\u201d sections that give insight into what he learned from specific cases and how that knowledge can be applied to future clinical cases to improve precision and success. For example, in the chapter on the double strip graft, he shares that \u201cfree gingival grafts, and even a free CTG, result in a poorer esthetic outcome than a double SGG\/collagen matrix combination.\u201d Tips like this can go a long way in clinical practice, where the difference between success and failure can be as little as 1 mm of tissue.<\/p>\n

Dr Urban describes it like this: \u201cParts of this book are like watching a surgical video with me, where I stop the video at the most important parts (sometimes frame by frame) and discuss with you, the reader, what I am thinking and doing at that step, and what my next step will be.\u201d This is invaluable information for someone trying to learn from the best. And Dr Urban has proven himself to be among the best when it comes to ridge augmentation.<\/p>\n

Vertical 2: The Next Level<\/em> is a slam dunk. It\u2019s easy to follow, full of stunning images, and can have significant impact on your clinical practice. The advance copies sold out within days. You\u2019ll see why when you get your copy. Order today!<\/p>\n

This book is a continuation of the author\u2019s best-selling Vertical and Horizontal Ridge Augmentation<\/em>, but at a more advanced level. As such, readers should come armed with knowledge from the first book. In this volume the author delves deeper into the details of vertical ridge augmentation and really explores the intricacies of the procedures. Topics include treatment of the anterior maxilla, such as soft tissue reconstruction in conjunction with bone grafting as well as papilla reconstruction after bone regeneration, and the management of complications and difficulties in the posterior maxilla, such as deficient bony ridges and sinus involvement. Ridge grafting in the mandible is also included and given more detail than in the first book, this time focusing on larger defects and the different surgical steps required in native, fibrotic, and scarred tissue types around the mental nerve during flap advancement. The book features \u201clessons learned\u201d sections that highlight learning objectives for improved precision, and the author demonstrates each technique step by step through meticulous case presentation, taking the time to explain his thought process and rationale every step of the way. In this must-have new publication, the procedures and techniques are kept simple, repeatable, and biologically sound so you can lower complication rates and improve predictability.<\/p>\n
