About

This South Asia Edition comes at a time when tremendous strides have been made in the field of Dentistry, as well as in Prosthodontics, globally as well as within the Asian subcontinent. While retaining the core content of the International edition of the textbook, the current edition simultaneously introduces several emerging concepts.

Key Features

• Clinical and Laboratory procedures for Computer Engineered Complete Denture services.
• Graftless solutions using implants for rehabilitation of completely edentulous patients.
• New research trends in implantology that help to achieve more predictable, efficient and precise solutions in a shorter time span thus prioritising patient comfort.
• Unprofessional denture practices that are unethical and result in injury to both hard and/or soft tissues.
• A special highlight of the edition is the illustration of clinical techniques in conventional complete denture fabrication through video supplements thus demystifying the enigma of complete denture fabrication especially for the beginners.
