Principles and Practices of Complete Dentures

From the 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.
