All stages in the care of patients requiring removable partial dentures are important and the design of the prostheses needs as much skill and application as the others. This book looks at the process of design and includes a self-assessment section in which the reader can test his or her knowledge and understanding against an international team of expert prothosdontists. A companion volume to A Clinical Guide to Removable Partial Dentures by the same authors, this guide acts as a colour atlas to partial denture design, incorporating excellent artwork to illustrate the fine points of this skilful and vitally important aspect of patient dental care.

Divided into three parts: Patient assessment, Preparation of the mouth and Prosthetic treatment, this clinical guide provides a thorough approach to the assessment, planning and provision of removable partial dentures. Completely redesigned and revised this new edition of a well respected textbook is an essential reference point for any clinician involved in the provision of removable partial dentures. Taken in conjunction with the companion volume by the same authors, A Clinical Guide to Partial Denture Design, the book serves to guide the reader through every aspect of partial dentures. It does this in a practical way covering all aspects of the subject, from the initial examination and history through to the review appointment after fitting the finished prosthesis.

Following the familiar, easy to use at a Glance format, each topic is presented as a double page spread with text accompanied by clear colour diagrams and clinical photographs to support conceptual understanding. Key concepts such as patient assessment, material handling, denture design, making impressions, and much more are explained and superbly illustrated enabling the reader to visualise the intended clinical endpoint. Removable Prosthodontics at a Glance is a valuable resource for students studying dentistry and clinical dental technology, and those preparing for further studies in Prosthodontics.

This work provides an overview of removable partial denture service in contemporary dental practice, with an emphasis on clinical and design aspects. Clinical topics range from examination and treatment planning to mouth preparation and prosthesis placement. Common design philosophies are discusses, and a step-by-step method for partial denture design is presented. Also included are alternative removable partial denture therapies such as swing lock, dual path and attachment-type prostheses

This clinical guide describes the latest developments in planning, materials, and techniques for successful fabrication of removable partial dentures (RPDs). The fabrication of RPDs is demonstrated in a simple and easy-to-understand format, with the aid of numerous color figures and video clips and scientific support on each page. Care has been taken to provide reliable guidance on all aspects of clinical practice relating to RPDs. Readers will find information on decision-making regarding treatment options, clasp-retained RPDs and esthetic solutions, attachments and double crown systems in RPDs, implant-assisted RPDs, maintenance and post-insertion problems for all types of RPDs, the role of RPDs in the management of temporomandibular disorders, re-establishing occlusal vertical dimension and maximal intercuspation.
