“Implant Laboratory Procedures: A Step‑by‑Step Guide” is a 2010 textbook by Carl Drago and Thomas Peterson (384 pages) that presents a clear, case‑based walkthrough of common dental laboratory workflows involved in implant‑supported restorations . The book is geared toward dental lab technicians and restorative clinicians, with chapters addressing different treatment scenarios—such as single‑unit implant crowns, multi‑unit fixed prostheses, implant overdentures, and CT‑guided immediate loading protocols—each illustrating every laboratory step, relevant work orders, associated complications, and often featuring products from various implant systems, most notably Biomet 3i . Highly illustrated with photos and diagrams, it serves as a practical, structured guide to the prosthetic side of implant dentistry for both lab and clinical professionals.
