Removable Partial Dentures On Osseointegrated Implants

The book's emphasis is on implant-prosthetic treatment of elderly patients, with consideration of the multifaceted aspects of aging, on presurgical prosthetic planning, and on prosthodontic treatment principles. The author presents a variety of in vitro experimental studies dealing with functional and technical aspects of implant-borne removable suprastructures. An extensive list of references and thorough clinical documentation are provided.

This work provides a case-oriented approach to treatment planning, bridging the gap between conventional textbooks of prosthodontics and basic manuals of denture design. It is divided into two parts. The first reviews basic principles of treatment planning and partial denture designs, and is supported by numerous line diagrams, checklists, questions and summaries which highlight key points. Part Two comprises 14 complete case histories, putting into practice the theory outlined in Part One. For each, the history leads to a series of possible treatment options, based on the patient's needs and the dentist's appraisal of their practicality. Each case is illustrated with casts of the patient's existing dentition, radiographs and results of other investigations such as sialography and CT scans. From these a treatment plan is devised and a denture constructed. In some of the cases, design errors' are also included for discussion.

Newly updated and expanded, this classic textbook remains true to its original purpose-that is, to provide basic, objective information about the principles and practice of implant dentistry for the student or practicing dentist who is new to the subject.

Removable Partial Dentures: A Clinician's Guide is a highly practical step-by-step guide to the diagnosis, treatment planning, and manufacture of removable partial prostheses. Through its systematic approach, the book demystifies the clinical practice of these procedures, providing the practitioner with essential information on this common modality for partially edentulous patients. This clinical manual offers easy-to-follow instruction on removable partial dentures, thoroughly outlining this technique in a practical format. Aimed at the new dental professional, Removable Partial Dentures provides key information for general dentists and prosthodontists.

With 757 illustrations, IMPLANT PROSTHODONTICS provides a practical, illustrative manual on the construction of dental implants. It features a strong treatment planning emphasis and provides benefits and rationales for all laboratory and clinical facets. It also builds on the thorough coverage of the history of implants, the emergence of the Branemark system, and the evaluation of other dental implant systems while maintaining the practical and readable style peer reviewers and users have praised. * Provides thorough coverage of the history of implants, the emergence of the Branemark system, and the evaluation of other dental implant systems. * Features a strong treatment planning emphasis and provides benefits/rationales for all laboratory and clinical facets. * Maintains the practical and readable style peer reviewers and users have praised. * Includes 700 illustrations, all in full color, showing the reader proper procedures for dental implants. * Features highly respected author team of Drs.

This book is intended for those dentists and dental technicians who wish to make prostheses specifically for implant support. The methods and materials necessary for making frameworks which fit accurately without corrective soldering form the basis of this innovative book. Here is a unique blend of research data and practical know-how with the objective of providing a dental technology as predictably reliable as the osseointegrated implants to which it is connected.
