The management of edentulous ridges has evolved significantly over the past few decades, with dental Implants now standing at the forefront of modern prosthodontic rehabilitation. This book, Restoring Edentulous Ridges with Implants, has been conceived to serve as a comprehensive and practical guide for clinicians, academicians, and postgraduate students seeking to enhance their understanding and treatment approach for edentulous patients.The inspiration behind this compilation lies in the clinical challenges frequently encountered in implant rehabilitation, especially in cases involving atrophic ridges, compromised bone quality, and patient-specific limitations. With the rapid advancements in implant systems, prosthetic designs, digital workflows, and grafting techniques, the need for an evidence-based yet clinically relevant resource became evident.Each chapter of this book builds upon fundamental concepts, integrates current literature, and transitions smoothly into practical applications-ranging from overdentures to full-arch fixed prostheses, hybrid designs, occlusal planning, and the use of zygomatic and pterygoid implants. Special attention has been given to occlusion, biomechanics, complication management, and the role of digital technologies in full-mouth implant rehabilitation.I am hopeful that this book will bridge the gap between theory and practice, empowering its readers with the knowledge and confidence to deliver predictable and patient-centric implant solutions.I sincerely thank everyone who contributed to making this work possible-and I dedicate it to the lifelong pursuit of clinical excellence and patient care.
