Complete Dentures - Problem Solving

The provision of complete dentures can be challenging, time consuming and not always successful. Many of the problems can be minimised or avoided by good communication between the dentist and the patient and the dentist and the dental technician from the outset of treatment. This book brings together for the first time essential, practical and common sense solutions to the problems encountered in the provision of complete dentures. Topics such as loose dentures, painful dentures and broken dentures are discussed in depth while the patient orientated problems of aesthetically unsatisfactory dentures, dirty dentures and the generally `problem' denture are fully analysed with accompanying, suggested solutions. A series of detailed appendices advise on such troublesome areas as the increased gag reflex, the neutral zone and the use of cuspless teeth. The practical advice given together with the common sense approach adopted by the authors, who have immense experience in the field, make this an unmissable book for every dental clinician who aspires to creating the trouble free complete denture.
