Abstract
Surgical procedures for the placement of endosseous dental implants follow the same basic implant surgical procedures that were developed by P.I. Branemark and coworkers in Sweden in the 1960s and 1970s. It is essential to understand and follow these basic guidelines to achieve osseointegration predictably. Fundamental protocols must be followed for implant placement, regardless of whether implants are placed using a one-stage approach or two-stage approach with subsequent implant exposure surgery. These fundamentals apply to all implant systems. This chapter reviews the basic principles of implant surgery. Case presentations are used to demonstrate these important concepts.
