Intraoperative complications in dental implants
Examines intraoperative complications associated with dental implant surgery, a critical and under-researched area in dental practice. The study focuses on identifying the most common intraoperative complications, their potential causes, and dental surgeons' strategies to manage these issues effectively. Through a comprehensive review of recent literature and a series of case studies, this research identifies specific risk factors and procedural challenges that lead to complications during the surgical phase of implant placement. Additionally, the thesis proposes a set of guidelines aimed at minimizing the occurrence of these complications.

International Economic Policy Coordination
The book investigates the interplay of brand equity and technological assets at the corporate level. In a grounded theory approach it develops a model of how companies in technology intensive industries can improve the appropriation of the returns of their intangible technological assets with the help of brand equity and thus improve their competitiveness. The theoretical discussions are supported by two extensive case studies on Bayer Aspirin and Cisco Systems as well as an extensive econometric analysis. The developed model points out how the strategic relevance of immaterial technological assets and brand equity develop along the technology-life-cycle and indicates how companies can, by an integrated technology and brand equity management, appropriate the returns of their initial technological advantage in the long-run. The implications of the findings for business companies as well as researchers are clearly revealed.
