Prosthodontics

McCracken's Removable Partial Prosthodontics

This has been the standard text for principles and concepts of removable partial denture treatment planning and design for more than 40 years. Content extends from initial contact with the patient to post-treatment care. Readers will find all the evidence-based information needed to diagnose, design, develop and sequence a treatment plan.• The newest techniques, procedures, and equipment are introduced and evaluated.• A six-page section in the chapter on Major and Minor Connectors (Chapter 5) reviews various major connectors side-by-side for quick comparison to help in the decision-making process.• Various techniques are presented throughout, to allow readers to select and incorporate applicable techniques on a case-by-case basis.• Chapters are presented in three logically sequenced sections: General Concepts and Treatment Planning; Clinical and Laboratory Procedures; and Maintenance.• Self-assessment aids pose questions at the end of each chapter to stimulate discussion and ensure comprehension.• Terminology is consistent with the most recent edition of The Glossary of Prosthodontic Terms, keeping readers updated on the language currently used in dental schools and dental practices.• Completely revised and digitised art program displays high-quality color images to help readers visualise techniques and materials used in prosthetic dentistry.• Up-to-date literature is divided by topic and listed in the Selected Reading Resources at the end of the book.• An entirely new chapter on Partially Edentulous Epidemiology, Physiology, and Terminology (Chapter 1) offers expanded coverage of terminology and basic information on changing treatment needs for partially edentulous patients based on retention of teeth in aging patients.• A new maxillofacial chapter reviews the principles of removable partial denture service for this unique patient group.• Detailed discussions of prostheses that are supported by dental implants keeps pace with the latest options for replacing teeth.• A full-color design includes clinical photos and illustrations that bring the subject to life.• New, high-quality line drawings are enhanced with color and detail.
