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
 

5 out of 5 stars 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.
