Dedication
The Kiel Connection dedicate this book
to their teacher
Prof. Dr. med. Dr. med. dent. Franz HärleDirector of Department
of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Kiel University 1980–2004
and Dean of the Medical Faculty of Kiel University 1991–1992
Outpatient surgery performed by oral surgeons and
maxillofacial surgeons has been subject to various
influences and exposed to new trends in recent years:
• patients are getting older and older
• owing to the associated increase in systemic dis-
eases, the operations are becoming more complex
and overall treatment involves more risk
• the forensic implications are more signigficant
• innovations in operating technique and materials
have made surgical procedures possible that place
high demands on the infrastructure, logistics and
expertise of the treatment team
• the forms of doctor–patient communication have
changed as a result of the Internet; patients no
longer look for their doctor or dentist in the phone
book but on their website and they no longer
attend a consultation uninformed, but are focused
and fully informed.
It is not easy to address all these points in a single text-
book or reference book.
The book presents examples of intraoral opera-
tions, in many cases showing the step-by-step operat-
ing procedure, which can obviously vary from patient
to patient and from clinic to clinic. A whole chapter is
dedicated to endosseous implantology, contrasting it
with tooth-preserving surgery as an alternative
approach.
A selection of cases is also presented, which must
be aligned with the self-assessment and proficiency of
each particular surgeon. A central theme of ‘safety’
runs throughout the entire book, from the principles of
preoperative information to patients, to intraoperative
complications and their possible consequences
through to dealing with at-risk patients. This should,
therefore, interest anyone already working in or cur-
rently studying this specialist field. Unfortunately,
ever-expanding knowledge means some omissions are
inevitable in order to keep within the scope of this
book. Readers may wish to refer to the extensive spe-
cialist literature published by Quintessence.
The bow ties on the cover were hand-made in
Vienna. The bow tie in the center is printed with the
logo of the Congress of the German Society of Oral and
Maxillofacial Surgery, which was held in Kiel in 1994
and chaired by Professor Härle.
The Kiel Connection – former senior residents and
lecturers of Kiel University Department of Oral and
Maxillofacial Surgery – were generously supported in
producing this book by Prof. Dr. A. Filippi, Basel,
Switzerland, and colleagues from Vienna University
Hospital, Dr. H. Fahrenholz, Dr. Dr. A. Reichwein, Dr. K.
Schicho, Dr. K. Sinko, Mag. E. Stein and Prof. Dr. D.
Turhani.
We are grateful to all our colleagues who con-
tributed their illustrations to the book. As well as our
dental assistants and medical consultants, the follow-
ing people have helped to make this book a reality: Dr.
C. Bernsmeier, Prof. Dr. W. Ummenhofer, Prof. Dr. Dr.
M. Kunkel and Prof. Dr. N. Zitzmann. Last, but not
least, we would like to thank all our secretaries, espe-
cially Ms. G. Oertlin and Ms. B. Olufsen, and give spe-
cial thanks to Ms. S. Holmes for her superb translation.
We would also like to thank Quintessence and its
staff for the flexible, swift and ever-friendly support
they provide.

of error because inaccuracies at least remain ‘consis-
tent’; there is no accumulation of errors in the course
of the individual working steps.
Intraoperative realizationThe operation is performed under local anesthesia
using the same drilling template with which the model
implants were inserted in the laboratory (Fig 8-431).
All the working steps described below are performed
through the guide sleeves of the template. The implant
system is matched to the guide sleeves so that the
mucosa can also be punched out through the tem-
plate. For preparation of the implant bed, special
instrumentation was developed for the CAMLOG sys-
tem (Fig 8-432). Three or four deep-hole drills are used,
depending on the length of the implant (Fig 8-433).
Implant insertion is performed manually, again
through the drilling template, with torque control to
avoid overheating (Fig 8-434). The vertical position of
the implants (implant depth) is determined by the
guide sleeve position, while it is impossible to insert
the implants too deeply because of the placing of the
three stoppers on the guide track (Fig 8-435).
Following implant insertion, the implant applica-
tors (Fig 8-436) are removed and the fixed partial den-
ture buildups are screwed on. The titanium sleeves

can be adapted to the implants with another screw
connection. In this way, it is possible to ensure ten-
sion-free insertion of the prosthetic work already com-
pleted preoperatively (Figs 8-437 and 8-438).
Before final insertion of the prosthetic work, a try-
in and verification of the exact accuracy of fit (over the
ball-head implants) takes place. Then the prosthetic
work with titanium sleeves is finally bonded in the
patient’s mouth. After the bonding agent has set, the
prosthetic work (e.g. a long-term provisional) can be
unscrewed. The ball-head implants in the alveolar
process and the matrices in the prosthetic work are
then removed.

Bone resorption: comparison between inlay andonlay graftFinally the key theme of this chapter, the vasculariza-
tion of different bone grafts and bone formation
options, should be mentioned again.
The situation of an onlay graft (class IVa) in the
maxilla is illustrated in Figure 8-510. Owing to the lack
of vascularization with the onlay graft, there is pro-
nounced resorption (up to 50%) of the grafted bone
and hence exposure of the implants in the crestal
region.197 Figure 8-511 compares the onlay graft
(class IVa), which is far simpler to perform, with the
more difficult horseshoe Le Fort I osteotomy (class III).
Autogenous monocortical bone grafts are used for
both operation methods. There is adequate vascular-
ization as a result of the inlay interposition of grafted
bone between the cranial bone of the maxilla, the
nasal and maxillary sinus walls, the palatal bone and
