As a result, many talented clinicians lack the training and experience necessary to provide functional and dependable complete denture therapy to their patients, even when this could be the best treatment option for certain patients.

This book seeks to solve that problem, taking the reader step by step through the process of fabricating removable complete dentures from the very first appointment through impressions, delivery, and maintenance. Sections alternate between clinical and laboratory steps (color coded for quick reference), and technical aspects of denture making, such as master cast fabrication and baseplate and occlusal rim formation, are covered in detail for clinicians who choose to perform them in-house rather than outsourcing to a laboratory.

With sections devoted to jaw and occlusion evaluation, how to determine the appropriate occlusal scheme, and more, the book seeks to empower clinicians to improve their patients’ quality of life. Focus is also given to delivery and subsequent adjustment, followed by maintenance of existing dentures and determining when a new denture is needed.

From start to finish, this book supplies everything you need to provide functional and esthetic dentures for your patients.

The authors focus on the essential principles of problem-centered design of the prosthesis. With more than 2,000 illustrations and a full complement of treatment algorithms for various clinical situations, it offers coherent, evidence-based strategies for prosthetically driven implant surgery and custom esthetic restorative techniques in a step-by-step manner, from initial planning through prosthetic delivery and follow-up.

In addition, because high-quality implant dentistry and implant prosthodontics are possible only with a treatment team that works well together, key aspects of interactions between the implant surgeon and the prosthodontist, the prosthodontist and the dental technician, and the patient and the treatment team are discussed in detail.

This book is a must for all clinicians involved in implant restoration and is destined to become a standard reference work.

This e-book aims to present a work philosophy whose foundations are on clinic protocols based and stablished over literature on ceramic veneers, leading to a better comprehension of planning and execution of a aesthetic-functional rehabilitation, promoting the excellence in outcomes and professional ethics.

It presents the current state of the art in dentistry and set the foundations to the aesthetic rehabilitation, approaching essential matters such as aesthetic principles and planning process.

Supported by a large number of clinical cases, it explains and illustrates all the steps towards a full aesthetic rehabilitation in a high quality digital publication.

It outlines the essentials of implant prosthodontic workflows and protocols based on current evidence, with guidelines and checklists for all aspects of restoring dental implants.

Chapters address the principles of dental implant prosthetics, patient management considerations, instrumentation and preoperative procedures, impressions, restorations, provisional restorations, and complications, with guidance on selecting an appropriate protocol or restoration, the rationale for the procedure, and step-by-step protocols, along with information on special considerations and potential complications, as well as photos.

Many techniques include a link to a video demonstration using a QR code.

The book begins with a primer on occlusal anatomy, describing the specifics of each type of posterior tooth. This foundation supports the diagnosis and treatment of lesions, isolation, and cavity preparation for the buildup, as well as modeling, detailing, and finishing of restorations that closely mimic natural tooth anatomy for optimal esthetics and function.

Numerous clinical tips and case examples are provided, and the procedural rationale is supported by scientific evidence, in addition to the authors considerable clinical experience. Techniques for a wide range of clinical scenarios are presented to provide practitioners with the information they need to achieve optimal restorations.

Contents:

• Shape and Visual Perception;
• Anatomical Knowledge for Modeling;
• Diagnosis and Treatment of Early Caries Lesions;
• Isolation;
• Cavity Preparation;
• Restoring the Interproximal Wall;
• Occlusal Modeling;
• Detailing; Finishing, Polishing, and Finalizing the Occlusion;
• Clinical Cases

The authors emphasize that the preservation of alveolar hard and soft tissues using the immediacy concept is more predictable than is the reconstruction of the hard and soft tissues using the traditional delayed approach once resorption has occurred. Immediate loading has also shown to be very predictable in cases of full-arch reconstructions and has become the treatment of choice in cases where appropriate criteria are met.

Because a thorough understanding of analog protocols is necessary before attempting a digital case, the authors review these fundamental concepts to provide context for the transition to the digital realm.

The book begins by outlining the principles of immediate loading and those of digital workflows before delving into individual clinical situations ranging from single teeth to full arches, both with and without bone resorption. Information on prosthetics is included as well as surgical treatment planning.

The book concludes with a chapter entirely devoted to case presentations of all the treatment types covered throughout.

If you are ready to step into the future of dental implant treatment, this book is for you!
