Removable Partial Dentures on Osseointegrated Implants

From the Critics
Rating: three stars from Doody

From Jean-Francois Bedard  
The title of this book is somewhat confusing, because only complete removable dentures are presented. A more representative title for this book would be Alternative Approaches for Mandibular Removable Dentures on Osseointegrated Implants. It is, nevertheless, an interesting book that introduces a new concept for prosthetic treatment of elderly patients, encompassing an implant-retained, removable, bridge-type suprastructure. It also presents the advantages of such a concept through experimental and clinical studies. This book is primarily dedicated to prosthodontists and dentists who try to offer their elderly patients a quality restoration adapted to their needs and concerns. It will also be helpful to graduate residents and dental technicians who wish to further their armamentarium in implant technology. This text is magnificently illustrated and is amazingly easy to read. The first part, in-vitro evaluation of various attachments, presents very interesting data. The second part, a concept for treatment of the edentulous mandible in elderly patients using osseointegrated implants, is subdivided into six chapters presenting the techniques, followed by clinical case presentations. This book will prove to be valuable in a time where geriatric needs are increasing. It presents insight on the multifaceted aspects of aging and prosthodontic approaches for increased restorative success.

From Booknews  
Introduces an interdisciplinary model for the prosthetic treatment of the edentulous mandible in elderly patients with removable partial dentures on osseointegrated implants, involving three structurally and therapeutically different removable suprastructures to fit specific requirements of elderly patients. Precision prefabricated components are used exclusively for simple fabrication of the removable suprastructure. Emphasis is on implant-prosthetic treatment of elderly patients, with consideration of aspects of aging, presurgical prosthetic planning, and prosthodontic treatment principles. Presents experimental studies dealing with functional and technical aspects of implant-borne removable suprastructures, and illustrates techniques with many color photos.
