Description

Sythesises the diverse scientific, clinical and bio-mechanical knowledge required to manage the edentulous predicament. This book analyses the sequelae of edentulism and provides a rationale for treatment with complete dentures. This knowledge base is also fundamental for alternative treatment modalities, such as implant-supported prostheses.
