I'm surprised at how advanced our medicine is. When I read this book, I thought I was reading some kind of fiction. After reading this book, I made sure that every doctor is a hero. They help so many people and improve our lives. I recently got dental implants myself, and I am very happy with them. That's why I read this book. I learned a lot, I wish I had read it sooner. So much quality in every detail is conveyed. Completely describes what goes what, you can really learn something with this book.

Bible of the oral implantology. Though, frankly, quite difficult to read it

Great book, wrote by highly knowledgeable scientist.
Thought, it is clear that this book is more academically drifted than clinically drifted. Some ideas and solutions presented doesn’t fit in the real world.
