The pages devoted to the technique for fabricating gold pontics with cemented, customized, prefabricated porcelain facings have been deleted. Different ways of handling edentulous ridges with defects have given the dentist better control of the functional and esthetic outcome no longer must metal or ceramics be relied on to somehow mask the loss of bone and soft tissue. The increased usage of periodontally weakened teeth required some tips on handling teeth with exposed root morphology or molars that have lost a root. New articulators, facebows, and concepts of occlusion needed attention, along with precise ways of making removable dies. Current information has been added to cover the increasing use of new cements, new packaging and techniques for the use of impression materials, and changes in the management of soft tissues for impression making. However, in the limited time available in undergraduate dental training, there is usually time for the mastery of only one basic technique for accomplishing each of the various types of treatment An attempt has been made to provide a sound working background in the various facets of fixed prosthodontic therapy. However, only one technique is presented Cognizance is given to the fact that there is usually more than one acceptable way of accomplishing a particular operation. Alternative techniques are given when there are multiple techniques widely used in the profession.
Specific techniques and instruments are discussed because dentists and dental students must deal with them in their daily work. In addition, sections of other chapters are devoted to the fundamentals of the respective subject. To provide the needed background for formulating rational judgments in the clinical environment, there are chapters dealing with the fundamentals of treatment planning, occlusion, and tooth preparation. It should provide the background knowledge needed by the novice, as well as be a refresher for the practitioner or graduate student. This book was designed to serve as an introduction to the area of restorative dentistry dealing with fixed partial dentures and cast metal, metal-ceramic, and all-ceramic restorations. This is possible, however, only if the dentist has a thorough background in the principles of restorative dentistry and an intimate knowledge of the techniques required. As in all fields of the healing arts in recent years, there has been tremendous change in this area of dentistry Improved materials, instruments, and techniques have made it possible for today's operator of average skills to provide a service whose quality is on par with that produced only by the most gifted dentist of years gone by. The path taken depends upon one's knowledge of sound biological and mechanical principles, the growth of manipulative skills to implement the treatment plan, and the development of a critical eye and judgment for assessing detail. Restorations in this field of dentistry can be the finest service rendered for dental patients, or the worst disservice perpetrated upon them. Successfully treating a patient by means of fixed prosthodontics requires a thoughtful combination of many aspects of dental treatment: patient education and the prevention of further dental disease, sound diagnosis, periodontal therapy, operative skills, occlusal considerations, and sometimes, placement of removable complete or partial prostheses and endodontic treatment. Ixed prosthodontics is the art and science of restoring damaged teeth with cast metal, metal-ceramic, or all-ceramic restorations, and of replacing missing teeth with fixed prostheses.
