Daniel R. Cullum, DDS, maintains a private oral and maxillofacial surgery practice and Implants Northwest LIVE training center in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, specializing in immediate and minimally invasive dental implant reconstruction. A Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and visiting lecturer at Loma Linda University and UCLA, he has written book chapters and peer-reviewed journal articles related to implant reconstruction and speaks internationally.
Douglas Deporter, DDS, is Professor, Discipline of Periodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He and his colleagues at the University of Toronto developed a shorter implant design that revolutionized implant dentistry in the 1980s, allowing more patients to be eligible for predictable implant therapy. Dr. Deporter has published more than 100 peer-reviewed articles on the subjects of periodontics and dental implants and is an invited speaker at international conferences.

Minimally Invasive Dental Implant Surgery presents a new clinical text and atlas focused on cutting edge and rapidly developing, minimally invasive treatment modalities and their applications to implant dentistry. Centered on progress in imaging, instrumentation, biomaterials and techniques, this book discusses both the "how to" as well as the "why" behind the concept of minimally invasive applications in implant surgery.
Drawing together key specialists for each topic, the book provides readers with guidance for a broad spectrum of procedures, and coalesces information on the available technologies into one useful resource. Minimally Invasive Dental Implant Surgery will be a useful new guide to implant specialists and restorative dentists seeking to refine their clinical expertise and minimize risk for their patients.
