The book is a good supplement to my RPD class and is very easy to understand and explains things quite well.

A fundamental addition to any comprehensive medical library., February 17, 2011

This is quite honestly more than just a book, it is in certain respects an encyclopedic reference tool for any dental health care practitioner. The photographs and illustrations are exceptional, and the descriptive information is brilliant. Anyone interested in the field of dental prosthetics will find this to be a most interesting source of information, and for those involved professionally within the field of Prosthodontics, this is no doubt an invaluable professional resource.
