Book Info
Introduction to restorative dentistry dealing with fixed
partial dentures and cast metal, metal-ceramic, and allceramic restorations. For
students and practitioners. Halftone line drawings.
Jean-Francois Bedard
This is the third edition of this basic fixed prosthodontics reference textbook.
Faithful to its beginnings, it contains schematic drawings rather than
photographs to graphically illustrate concepts. The purpose is to serve as an
introduction to the area of restorative dentistry dealing with fixed partial
dentures and cast metal, metal ceramic, and all ceramic restorations. It is
meant to provide the background knowledge needed by the novice as well as be a
refresher for the practitioner or graduate student. The book is primarily meant
for dental students, and secondarily for graduate residents. The content is
divided into 28 chapters covering background knowledge of a multitude of aspects
pertinent to fixed prosthodontics. Treatment planning, occlusion, articulators
and records, tooth preparation, provisionalization, impressions, laboratory
procedures from working cast fabrication to soldering techniques, are covered.
Much needed chapters on esthetic, all-ceramic restorations, and resin-bonded
fixed partial dentures are also presented. Many chapters have been modified to
adapt to today's practice, a few deleted, and many added to cover particularly
active aspects of dental research (cements and restorative materials, etc.).
Additional references are included in the preface, directing the reader to
additional specialized texts. Many of the latest developments are covered. This
reference book will prove valuable for dental students as a strong base of
fundamental information in fixed prosthodontics. Dental school libraries would
also benefit from adding this book to the available repertoire.

Fundamentals of Fixed Prosthodontics
Student`s review, January 27, 2000

Reviewer: DAVOR
ILLES from Zagreb, Croatia |
Excellent book featuring:
* "picturesque" explaining (almost like a comic book), no clinical
photography present though
* step by step instructions how to do it, with every material, bur or
other used instrument explained in detail. Detail is what is great about
this book - you can reconstruct every phase of the procedure to the last
detail.
* fluidly written and easily understandable emphasizing the practice with
all theoretical knowledge needed provided
Overall it is a great book for students which want to get a general
knowledge about practice and theory of fixed prosthodontics in dentistry.
Great beginners and advanced user book. (My mother who is a specialist of
prosthodontic find it useful after years and years of practice). Only
complaint - there were not any real clinical cases and clinical photography.
