Part I covers basic principles and rationale of design and presents sound rules for rest placement and clasp selection. Part II describes and illustrates designs for 250 of the most common partially edentulous arches. A standard design is presented, and possible variations are discussed. An excellent tool for dentist-technician communication.

All stages in the care of patients requiring removable partial dentures are important and the design of the prostheses needs as much skill and application as the others. This book looks at the process of design and includes a self-assessment section in which the reader can test his or her knowledge and understanding against an international team of expert prothosdontists. A companion volume to A Clinical Guide to Removable Partial Dentures by the same authors, this guide acts as a colour atlas to partial denture design, incorporating excellent artwork to illustrate the fine points of this skilful and vitally important aspect of patient dental care.

The standard in prosthodontics for nearly 50 years, McCracken's Removable Partial Prosthodontics, 13th Edition walks readers through all the principles and concepts surrounding removable partial denture treatment planning and design that today's practitioners need to know. Using an evidence-based approach, this full-color text incorporates the latest information on new techniques, procedures, and equipment, including expanded information on dynamic communication and the use of implants with removable partial dentures. From initial contact with the patient to post-treatment care, McCracken's is the complete foundation today's dentists need to successfully practice prosthodontic care. - A variety of philosophies and techniques are featured throughout the text, so readers can select and incorporate applicable techniques on a case-by-case basis. - Full-color drawings and photographs give readers a detailed view of techniques, materials, and anatomic detail. - Evidence-based approach uses current research to help readers diagnose, design, develop, and sequence a treatment plan. - Expert guidance from both authors walks readers through the latest techniques as well as technological advances specific to removable partial dentures. - NEW! Standardized removable partial denture designs offered for application to the major categories of patients seen in practice. - NEW! Expanded information on the use of implants with removable partial dentures highlights considerations in treatment planning including the selection of implants and provision of care utilizing dental implants. - NEW! More information on dynamic communication which incorporates the progress being made in shared decision making with patients, especially regarding decisions made in light of patient values and 'trade-off' considerations.

This work provides an overview of removable partial denture service in contemporary dental practice, with an emphasis on clinical and design aspects. Clinical topics range from examination and treatment planning to mouth preparation and prosthesis placement. Common design philosophies are discusses, and a step-by-step method for partial denture design is presented. Also included are alternative removable partial denture therapies such as swing lock, dual path and attachment-type prostheses

Removable Prosthodontics at a Glance provides a comprehensive and accessible guide to the practical elements of complete and partial denture provision. It serves as the perfect illustrated guide for learners, and a handy revision guide for subsequent undergraduate and postgraduate studies. Following the familiar, easy to use at a Glance format, each topic is presented as a double page spread with text accompanied by clear colour diagrams and clinical photographs to support conceptual understanding. Key concepts such as patient assessment, material handling, denture design, making impressions, and much more are explained and superbly illustrated enabling the reader to visualise the intended clinical endpoint. Removable Prosthodontics at a Glance is a valuable resource for students studying dentistry and clinical dental technology, and those preparing for further studies in Prosthodontics.

If partial dentures are worth making, then they are worth making well. This book presents a review of demographic changes in the partially dentate population, the increasing availability of alternative treatments, and evidence for the long-term effectiveness of partial dentures. In addition, it provides evidence-based guidelines that practitioners can apply to the design, preparation, completion, and maintenance of removable partial dentures in their everyday clinical practice.
