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.

Case-based dentistry resource details the art of crafting basic to complex dental prosthodontics Case Guides to Complete and Partial Denture Prosthodontics by prosthodontist and educator Robin Wilding is designed to take dental students on a progressive journey through a sequence of case guides that are based on actual patient scenarios. This comprehensive resource presents clinical challenges in stepwise increments, starting with a one-tooth partial denture and concluding with an implant-supported mandibular overdentures. By mastering less complicated prosthetics first, students are able to gain the necessary skills and confidence to manage more advanced cases. Key Highlights Eleven clinical scenarios reflect those a student or general dentist will likely encounter in daily practice Basic science content offered in separate appendices provides relevant scientific background for each case, while keeping the focus on clinical skills Highly-rated appendices cover practice management topics, including patient FAQs Videos provide step-by-step guidance on performing specific procedures, from duplicating and placing a denture to solving the problems of an unstable mandibular complete denture This guide is an essential learning resource for dental students and an excellent teaching tool for dental school instructors.

This step-by-step manual provides the knowledge and skill needed for clinicians to effectively treat denture-wearing patients. In the text the author offers a pathway based on scientific principles to mastering the art of constructing a complete denture. He explains that treatment involving complete dentures is not simply a mechanical skill: it demands an accurate diagnosis of systematic and local problems before attention is paid to prosthesis design, and requires a mixture of scientific and artistic skills.

This excellently illustrated book equips dental students and practitioners with all the information and guidance required in order to ensure successful implementation of complete denture treatment in edentulous patients following appropriate treatment planning. Readers will find detailed guidance on tooth selection and arrangement, the try-in stage, and remounting and occlusal adjustment. Potential short- and long-term postinsertion problems are identified, with clear explanation of how to resolve them. Information is also provided on the use of stress-reducing materials for complete dentures. The final part of the book is devoted to techniques that can be employed in problematic cases. The text is supported by a wealth of high-quality photographs drawn from the authors’ own extensive clinical experience. A companion volume covering every aspect of the planning stage is available separately.
