Essentials of Complete Denture Prosthodontics

Since its introduction in 1979, Essentials of Complete Denture Prosthodontics has been one of the most popular and widely used dental textbooks in the world and is well established as a standard reference. The book contains a comprehensive, heavily illustrated (often in color), practical step-by-step approach to complete denture design and fabrication, supported by clinical and research evidence. An outstanding, internationally known, diverse panel of clinicians and research scientists contributed to the book. This edition features a new color design and layout for easy reading. Many of the line drawings and charts have been updated. The book is divided into four sections, the edentulous patient, construction of complete dentures, maintenance of complete dentures, and special techniques and problems. Basic science principles are covered in the first section, which provide a foundation for the following three sections. Complete denture fabrication procedures are presented in an organized, systematic format. Summaries are provided at the conclusion of each chapter. Essentials of Complete Denture Prosthodontics is recommended for undergraduate and graduate dental students and practitioners needing up-to-date knowledge and complete coverage of prosthetic materials, procedures, and techniques.
