Guided Surgery: A Clinical Reference for Implant Planning and Treatment Decisions

Why this book matters

Implant dentistry requires a careful balance between biological principles, prosthetic planning and surgical execution. As case complexity increases, clinicians need resources that support diagnostic reasoning and help translate planning into predictable clinical outcomes.

Book positioning

Guided Surgery is presented as a professional reference designed to support clinicians who want to connect knowledge, technique and practical application.

Book overview

With more than 500 explanatory photographs, charts and diagrams, Nick Fahey provides a comprehensive manual for guided implant surgery that can be read cover-to-cover or used as a handbook to access a clinician’s unique need for tips, tricks and dental hacks. It’s a practical, easy-to-use tool for the experienced dentist and beginner alike.

Beyond its descriptive content, the value of the book lies in how it can support clinical reasoning, diagnostic workflows and treatment planning in daily practice.

Clinical relevance

For clinicians, the key issue is not simply accessing information, but knowing how to apply it. A structured reference can help organize decision-making, improve case assessment and support more predictable outcomes.
