Textbook of Complete Denture Impressions (2nd Edition)

About Book

“Textbook of Complete Denture Impressions” has been specifically written for students who begin their clinical postings in prosthodontics department and are supposed to fabricate complete dentures for edentulous patients. Impression making, being one of the most vital steps in complete denture fabrication, requires thorough understanding and cannot be overlooked. Most of the currently available books on complete dentures cover the entire procedure of complete denture fabrication, but often in a condensed manner and they lack detailed description of critical steps of impression making due to limited space. In recent times, many contemporary impression materials have been introduced. Recent textbooks tend to emphasize these newer materials and techniques, while giving little importance to the traditional ones that are still routinely used in clinics. In most dental colleges across India, clinical training of students continues to begin with conventional techniques and materials. This book discusses both traditional and contemporary materials and methods, providing students with a balanced and comprehensive understanding. Another limitation of contemporary books is the restricted number of photographs, which often makes it difficult for students to grasp the concepts clearly. To overcome this, sufficient number of clinical photographs have been included in this book that will help students understand the concepts and techniques with greater ease. Designed in the form of a handbook, it is compact, easy to carry, and highly suitable for use in the clinics.
