Prosthodontic Treatment for Edentulous Patients: Complete Dentures and Implant-Supported Prostheses
Published 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
A comprehensive overview of the field of complete dentures and prosthodontics, focusing on the restoration and rehabilitation of edentulous patients. It details the history and current role of complete dentures, acknowledging their limitations compared to natural dentition, while also covering contemporary implant-supported prostheses as a superior alternative for long-term stability and function. The material addresses numerous clinical and technical considerations, including impression materials and techniques, the proper selection and arrangement of artificial teeth for optimal esthetics and occlusion, and the fabrication of dentures using various resin and metal alloys. Furthermore, the text explores biological factors influencing denture success, such as the condition of the oral mucosa, salivary function (including issues like xerostomia), and the management of complications like temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and post-surgical defects (obturators).
