Product Description

In spite of improvements in oral health, there will always be a significant number of people who lose all their teeth. Furthermore, as people are living longer, complete denture work has become more challenging and managing the transition from a pre–edentulous to an edentulous condition has become more critical.

The fourth edition of this established textbook for dental undergraduates and postgraduates has been completely updated to reflect these changes. More emphasis has been placed on care of the elderly and how to achieve better communication between clinicians and dental technicians. More details of clinical techniques have been included, with a new section on the self assessment of clinical work. The text has been completely revised to take into account the results of research over the last ten years.

Review
"an excellent textbook, packed full of useful information for undergraduate students, experienced practitioners and even orthodontists."
Journal of Orthodontics

"this textbook is highly recommended to undergraduate students as it is well written, clearly laid out and helpfully illustrated.
The objective of the authors, in providing the clinician with a sound theoretical foundation on which successful clinical skills can be built, has certainly been achieved.
The text should also be of interest to practitioners and those preparing for postgraduate exams."

"In summation, the authors have achieved their aims and I would recommend this textbook for undergraduates."

"...the last chapter of forty pages is very useful. It is completely devoted to complaints like pain, loose dentures, recurring fractures, flabby ridges, sore mouth and speech impediment."
