Critics
From Juneseok Lee
This textbook presents a
summary review of complete denture prosthetics. It includes many clinical
photographs designed to simplify understanding of the subject. As the population
and life span of the elderly is on the increase, the demand for wearing complete
denture prosthetic treatment is also increasing. According to the author, this
book has been written to provide practitioners with a basic review of complete
denture prosthodontics. With a better understanding of the techniques required
for successful treatment, it is hoped that the functional status of the oral
cavity can be preserved. The book is intended for dental practitioners with
clinical experiences as well as for dental students. The author seems to be
credible on the subject. The author presents a survey of the procedures required
for fabricating complete dentures, including the initial evaluation of intra-
and extra-oral structures, impression techniques, and other clinical and
laboratory steps. Most procedures are illustrated with color photographs and
simple explanations to provide the reader with a clear mental image of the
intended clinical goal. Differences among techniques are also compared. As a
prosthodontic textbook, it does not have any significant shortcomings. In
comparison to other textbooks of complete denture prosthesis, this book is
written in practical style providing both general dentists and dental students
with a simple and easy-to-use guide to fabricate complete denture. Therefore it
could serve as a valuable reference book to their practice.
