Book Description

The third edition of this undergraduate text has been extensively updated and expanded to reflect recent research, materials, and techniques in fixed prosthodontics. It brings the reader up to date, but its adherance in fundamentals remains. Concepts and clinical procedures are described and illustrated, and presentation of the material is enhanced by the larger page size of this edition. It includes new chapters on: all-ceramic restorations; resin-bonded fixed partial dentures; and restoration of periodontally weakened teeth.

Student`s review January 27, 2000

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.

Fundamentals of Fixed Prosthodontics May 21, 2009

I have the second edition and I love it so much although there is no attractive photos inside but it is very practical for me in clinical study. This time I buy the third edition. It is also kept me irresistible of reading it.

A must have to every General Practitioner January 28, 2008

This is not only a recommended text, but also virtually a “must have” for every GP! It works perfectly for both, theory and practice. It works greatly for a student as well.
