Abstract
The following chapter will focus on implantology as it pertains to the general practitioner. The general practitioner is responsible for developing the restorative plan that will dictate treatment from start to finish. Oftentimes with implants, it is a team-based approach that will involve multiple specialties. For a general dentist, the standard of care is to have the ability to develop a treatment plan for a patient and discuss the option of having implants as alternatives to other dental treatments. A basic understanding of implant diagnosis and treatment planning, pre-prosthetic and surgical planning, restorative guidelines, and complications will be presented.
