The use of distal angled implants with a splinted superstructure has become an established therapeutic approach for the restoration of edentulous jaws with a fixed dental prosthesis. In this book, the authors present the concept for their innovative implant treatment the SKY fast & fixed approach and outline, step-by-step, the method for placement of angulated implants in the posterior area to provide stable support for immediate restoration with a reduced number of implants, even in atrophied jaws. In addition to the clinical and technical foundations of the SKY fast & fixed approach, the book presents the options for prosthetic restoration, and case presentations demonstrate the outstanding clinical results that have been achieved to date. An important text for every forward-thinking implant dentist.

When I started turning the pages of this book, I was quickly drawn in by the many step-by-step photos of the procedures. In general, there are six photos to a page, and each one has enough text underneath it to make the reader clearly understand what is being shown. --Todd Belfbecker, DMD, Journal of the Massachusetts Dental Society, Spring 2012

This text describes a new approach to the provision of implant-retained restorations in the edentulous mandible or maxilla. The technique involves immediate loading of a reduced number of implants and placement of angled distal implants. This allows the patient to have an immediate fixed provisional restoration in the same visit as implant placement. This text would be of most interest to implant dentists with dedicated technician support. --M. Devine, British Dental Journal, July 2012
