Covering the functional and esthetic needs of edentulous patients,
Prosthodontic Treatment for Edentulous Patients: Complete Dentures
and Implant-Supported Prostheses, 13th Edition helps you provide
complete dentures, with and without dental implant support. It
addresses both the behavioral and clinical aspects of diagnosis and
treatment and covers treatment modalities including
osseointegration, overdentures, implant-supported fixed prosthesis,
and the current and future directions of implant prosthodontics.
New to this edition are full-color photographs and coverage of
immediately loaded complete dental prostheses. From lead editor and
respected educator George Zarb, Prosthodontic Treatment for
Edentulous Patients provides an atlas of clinical procedures and
emphasizes the importance of evidence-based treatment. Short,
easy-to-read chapters cover the essentials of care for both short-
and long-term patients, stressing the importance of evidence-based
treatment. Expanded coverage of implant prosthodontics addresses
the clinical protocols for implant-retained and implant-supported
prosthodontic management. Specific chapters address the three
surfaces of the complete denture: (1) an impression or intaglio
surface, (2) a polished surface, and (3) an occlusal surface, the
integration of which is crucial to creating a stable, functional,
and esthetic result. Chapter on health and nutrition examines a
number of systemic conditions (vesciculoerosive conditions,
systemic lupus erythematosus, burning mouth syndrome, salivary
dysfunction, Sjoegren's syndrome, hyper/hyposalivation, diabetes)
that affect the oral cavity and specifically influence the
prognosis for wearing complete dentures or for accepting
osseointegrated prostheses. Chapter on the time-dependent changes
which occur in the oral cavity focuses on both time-related direct
(ulcer/cheek biting, irritation hyperplasia, denture stomatitis,
flabby ridge and pendulous maxillary tuberosities, hyperkeratosis
and oral cancer, residual ridge reduction) and indirect (atrophy of
masticatory muscles, nutritional status and masticatory function,
control of sequelae) changes in the oral environment, and provides
strategies to minimize the risk of such changes. Chapter on the
techniques used to prolong the life of complete dentures focuses on
the two techniques used to extend the life of dentures: relining
and rebasing, also touching on denture duplication. Well-respected
editors and contributors are the leaders in their field, lending
credibility and experience to each topic. NEW! Over 800 full-color
photos and illustrations highlight key clinical and esthetic
details. NEW Immediately Loaded Complete Dental Prostheses chapter
describes the rationale for the popular approach to immediately
loading full arch implant supported/retained prostheses, allowing
both enhanced functional outcomes and an accelerated time frame for
completion of treatment. NEW The Impact of Socioeconomic, Cultural
and Technological Changes and the Notion of Standards of Care and
Alternative Protocols chapter addresses the "appropriatech" concept
of providing cost-effective, appropriate care and describes
techniques that make complete dentures accessible to those who do
not have access to alternative care, including discussions of
alternative protocols such as Complete Dentures in Four Clinical
Sessions (CD4). Completely revised Materials Used in the Management
of Edentulous Patients chapter includes expanded information on the
properties, behaviors, and limitations of dental materials used in
the rehabilitation of the edentulous patient, including impression
materials (such as zinc oxide-eugenol impression paste,
hydrocolloids, agar, and silicones), polymeric denture base
materials (including rapid-cure type resins, biocompatibility of
acrylic-based resins, residual monomer content, and radio-opacity
of denture bases), denture cleansers (microwave radiation), and
denture adhesives (such as adjunctive retention,
indications/contraindications, application, and adverse reactions).
