McCracken's removable partial prosthodontics
Walks readers through all the principles and concepts surrounding removable partial denture treatment planning and design that today’s practitioners need to know. Using an evidence-based approach, this full-color text incorporates the latest information on new techniques, procedures, and equipment, including expanded information on dynamic communication and the use of implants with removable partial dentures. From initial contact with the patient to post-treatment care, McCracken’s is the complete foundation today’s dentists need to successfully practice prosthodontic care.
Implantology step by step
A consistently practice-oriented, instruction- based and illustrated technical textbook, has provided guidance and help to a whole generation of dentists venturing into the field of dental implant treatment. Brought together the treatment of the maxilla and mandible in one volume and has included a chapter on the totally edentulous patient. A wealth of newly included patient reports illustrate novel methods and techniques, replacing any material that has since become obsolete. What remains is the innovative concept that a variety of baseline situations and degrees of difficulty are taken into account for all clinical situations - from the restoration of singletooth gaps to the treatment of the edentulous maxilla and mandible with sinus elevation and immediate implants. Important complications are also considered, with causes and solutions.
Fundamentals of treatment planning : Guidelines on how to develop, plan, write, and deliver a prosthodontic care project
Helps dentists, prosthodontists, and students form and organize their thinking and formulate correct diagnoses and therapies that start with appropriate treatment planning
Fundamentals of operative dentistry : A contemporary approach
Updated with full-color illustrations throughout and substantial revisions in every chapter to incorporate the latest scientific developments and current research findings. In addition, new chapters on color study and shade matching address new areas of focus in the preclinical curriculum. A valuable resource for understanding the scientific basis for current treatment options in dentistry.
Fundamentals of fixed prosthodontics
A popular undergraduate text reflects research, materials, and techniques in fixed prosthodontics, with the addition of more than 350 new illustrations and three new chapters on the restoration of implants. It is designed to serve as an introduction to restorative dentistry techniques using fixed partial dentures and cast metal, metal-ceramic, and all-ceramic restorations, providing the background knowledge needed by the novice and serving as a refresher for the practitioner or graduate student.
Extra-coronal restorations : Concepts and clinical application
A clinical guide to contemporary materials and techniques for the restoration of individual teeth and implants. It fully reflects the important developments in the field over the past 15 years, including in particular the shift away from wholesale use of crowns towards adhesive dentistry and less invasive extra-coronal restorations. The book opens by considering the principles and evidence base relating to the longevity of restorations of teeth and implants. Importantly, it explains how to ensure "a healthy start" and manage future risks. Material choice and aesthetic issues are then discussed, before all aspects of the planning and provision of extra-coronal restorations are examined in depth. The coverage also includes the adaptation of crowns to existing partial dentures. In line with modern dental education, each chapter begins with clinically relevant learning objectives, and helpful clinical tips are highlighted.
Digital Restorative Dentistry : A Guide to Materials, Equipment, and Clinical Procedures
Offers up-to-date, readily understandable guidance on the materials and equipment employed in digital restorative dentistry and on the specific clinical procedures that may be performed using the new technologies. The key components of digital restorative dentistry – image acquisition, prosthetic/restorative design, and fabrication – are fully addressed. Readers will find helpful information on scanners, the software for prosthetic design, and the materials and technologies for prosthesis fabrication, including laser sintering, 3D printing, CAD/CAM, and laser ablation. The section on clinical procedures explains all aspects of the use of digital technologies in the treatment of patients requiring removable partial dentures, complete dentures, fixed partial prostheses, crowns, endodontics, and implant surgery and prosthodontics. The field of restorative and prosthetic dentistry is undergoing rapid transition as these new technologies come to play an increasingly central role in everyday dental practice. In bridging the knowledge gap that this technological revolution has created in the field of dentistry, the book will satisfy the needs of both dentists and dental students.
Current techniques and materials in dentistry
Dental implants are one of the most interesting dental treatments. PEEK (polyetheretherketone) has recently been reported as a further innovation in polymer implant materials, although it has not yet met the requirements to be a biomechanical requirement. In the placement of mini-screws used in orthodontic treatments, micro-cracks caused by overtorquing in thick and hard bone, and the consequent heat production, can reduce the success rate. Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) techniques are becoming increasingly popular. Since complete dentures can be produced using an additive (3D printing) or subtractive (milling) process, CAD/CAM techniques for denture fabrication have many clinical and laboratory advantages.
Mandibular Implant Prostheses
Combines up-to-date clinical and research information that will help clinicians to advance their theoretical and clinical knowledge on mandibular implant overdentures. Furthermore, it describes treatment considerations for geriatric populations, covering all relevant aspects from physiology to treatment planning and patient management in the surgical and prosthetic phases.
Management of free distal extension by partial prosthesis
The study highlights that removable partial dentures remain a fundamental treatment option for managing partial edentulism, especially when implants or fixed prostheses are not feasible. Successful outcomes depend on accurate diagnosis, thorough oral preparation, sound prosthesis design, continuous patient education, and regular follow-up.
Kratochvil's Fundamentals of Removable Partial Dentures
Provides an overview of the RPD design philosophy developed by Prof F. J. Kratochvil. His'RPI system'—a clasp assembly consisting of a rest, a proximal plate, and an I-bar retainer—changed how clinicians approach partial denture design. Topics in this book include RPD components and functions, design sequences for maxillary and mandibular RPDs, and techniques for surveying and determining the most advantageous treatment position. The authors provide illustrations of clinical cases throughout the book as well as an illustrated glossary of prosthodontic terminology. This book will prepare students and general practitioners to design and fabricate a biomechanically sound RPD framework for just about any dental configuration they encounter.
ITI treatment guide ; Vol.2 : Loading protocols in implant dentistry : Partially dentate patients
ITI Treatment Guide series is a compendium of evidence-based implant therapy techniques in daily practice. Using an illustrated step-by-step approach, renowned clinicians demonstrate how to manage different clinical situations with an emphasis on sound diagnostics, evidence-based treatment, and predictable outcomes.
ITI treatment guide ; Vol 4 : Loading protocols in implant dentistry : Edentulous patients
The ITI Treatment Guide series is a compendium of evidence-based implant therapy techniques in daily practice.
