Common design philosophies are discusses, and a step-by-step method for partial denture design is presented. Also included are alternative removable partial denture therapies such as swing lock, dual path and attachment-type prostheses. The fabrication of RPDs is demonstrated in a simple and easy-to-understand format, with the aid of numerous color figures and video clips and scientific support on each page. Care has been taken to provide reliable guidance on all aspects of clinical practice relating to RPDs.
Readers will find information on decision-making regarding treatment options, clasp-retained RPDs and esthetic solutions, attachments and double crown systems in RPDs, implant-assisted RPDs, maintenance and post-insertion problems for all types of RPDs, the role of RPDs in the management of temporomandibular disorders, re-establishing occlusal vertical dimension and maximal intercuspation. Clinical Cases in Prosthodontics grounds itself in core principles of this rehabilitative specialty and demonstrates their practical, every-day application through range of case presentations building from simple to complex and from common to rare.
This unique approach supports the new trend in case-based and problem-based learning, thoroughly covering topics ranging from conventional complete denture prostheses to full mouth rehabilitation using both implant and tooth-supported prostheses. Each case begins with a short description of the initial patient presentation and the learning objectives and goals the subsequent case discussion will demonstrate.
This is accompanied by relevant medical and dental histories, notes on extra-oral and soft tissue examination and a thorough list of clinical findings, all presented in bulleted from to facilitate ease of learning. Clinical decision making factors are then discussed in detail, well illustrated with multiple clinical photos showing progressive stages of treatment.
Cases conclude with review questions and relevant literature citations supporting each answer. Ideal for practitioners and students alike, Clinical Cases in Prosthodontics is the ultimate resource linking evidence-based research to every-day application.
Complete comprehensive guide to removable partial denture design, construction, and placement. Many halftone and color illustrations. Thoroughly revised and updated, content extends from initial contact with the patient to post-placement care. Brand new chapter covering the biomechanics of removable partial dentures This edition provides an evidence-based systematic approach to understanding when, why, and how to treat the partially edentulous patient.
Different philosophies and techniques are also discussed to provide alternative suggestions. Material revised in response to new longitudinal studies on class design, oral hygiene, mouth preparation, patient adaptability and support of surrounding oral and maxillofacial tissues.
Reflects the latest information on lab materials and injection materials. Discussions on impression methodology and light cure materials have been expanded to reflect the most current techniques.
Increased emphasis placed on communication and cooperation between the dentist responsible for treating, designing and delivering a prosthesis and the technician responsible for manufacturing it. Updates for changes to clinical modalities include concise information on: the use of the Periodontal Screening and Recording PSR examination to identify patients at risk for periodontal disease; the use of lasers for removal of hyperplastic tissue; the deletion of a recommendation on the application of hydrocortisone to a freshly lacerated surface; and a continued emphasis on infection control.
Many of the halftones are being replaced to improve the quality of the illustration program. Extensively revised and updated literature review appears in the Selected Reading References section in the back of the book. It covers the basic principles of treatment planning and design, and discusses the newest techniques, procedures, and equipment.
Well-known educators Alan B. Brown, DDS, MS use an evidence-based approach that helps you diagnose, design, develop, and sequence a treatment plan. A new chapter in this edition explains how to select and use implants to improve prosthesis performance. From initial contact with the patient to post-treatment care, from basic concepts to advanced material, this full-color text provides a complete foundation in prosthodontic care. Colored boxes highlight the more advanced topics, so it's easy to focus on content that's appropriate for your level of experience.
The second edition of this textbook has been fully revised and updated to provide undergraduates with the latest advances in the field of prosthodontics. Divided into six sections, each part provides in depth detail on a specific type of prosthesis — complete dentures, removable partial dentures, fixed partial dentures, maxillofacial prosthesis, implants, and dental materials.
The section on implants has been completely reorganised with the addition of new chapters, and the section on dental materials is brand new to this edition.
