Contemporary Fixed Prosthodontics, 5th Edition

Find practical step-by-step guidelines to hundreds of fixed prosthodontics procedures! Contemporary Fixed Prosthodontics, 5th Edition provides
a strong foundation in basic science along with clear descriptions of
clinical applications. Using more than 3,000 high-quality drawings and
photographs, this reference covers everything from tooth preparation to
prostheses and restorations to follow-up care. New to this edition is a
chapter on periodontal considerations plus new sections on topics such
as cone beam imaging and virtual articulators. From respected
prosthodontics educators and clinicians Stephen Rosenstiel, Martin Land,
and Junhei Fujimoto, Contemporary Fixed Prosthodontics includes
separate sections covering planning and preparation, clinical
procedures, and laboratory procedures, making it easier to look up the
information you need.

• Illustrated, full-color step-by-step procedures walk you through all the steps of treatment from the beginning to the final treatment result.
• Summary charts provide
  a quick, at-glance review of specific procedures (such as Class II
  inlay preparation and all-ceramic crown preparation), highlighting the
  indications, contraindications, advantages, disadvantages, preparation
  steps, recommended armamentarium, and criteria.
• Prosthodontic Diagnostic Index
  helps you determine the appropriate treatments for completely
  edentulous, partially edentulous, and dentate patients, using guidelines
  and illustrations from the American College of Prosthodontists.
• Text boxes accompany selected illustrations, presenting quick facts and tips relating to techniques or concepts.
• Study questions offer an opportunity to test your knowledge and comprehension at the end of each chapter.
• Useful appendices list dental materials, equipment, and manufacturers.

• NEW full-color photos and drawings enhance your understanding and comprehension of each topic, and show the newest instruments and equipment.
• NEW Periodontal Considerations chapter
  offers a new approach to comprehensive fixed prosthodontics treatment,
  covering the concepts and clinical modes of periodontal therapy
  available prior to the development of an appropriate diagnosis and
  treatment plan.
• NEW section on digital impression techniques
  describes how to create a virtual, computer-generated replica of the
  hard and soft tissues in the mouth using lasers and other optical
  scanning devices.
• NEW section on virtual articulators
  addresses the new software tool providing dynamic visualization of the
  occlusal surface, eliminating the need for a mechanical articulator,
  with modules discussing the contact of the occlusal surface of the
  maxilla and mandible and the relation to the condylar movement.
• NEW section on cone beam imaging
  allows clear visualization of osseous contours and bone volume,
  facilitating better decisions about the size of implant fixtures that
  realistically can be accommodated.
• NEW section on digital interim fixed restorations
  covers the fabrication of large multi-unit composite or polymethyl
  methacrylate external surface forms in advance for use with
  indirect/direct restorative techniques.
