Within the growing body of literature dedicated to the subspecialty of maxillofacial prosthetics, this book fills a genuine need for a hands-on clinical guide to performing the challenging prosthodontic procedures required by this patient population. Based on careful discussion of both general and specific prosthodontic principles and techniques rather than on numerous case reports, and minimizing surgical and medical considerations that are more adequately addressed elsewhere, this user's guide will be a valuable addition to the libraries of practicing prosthodontists, general and hospital dentists, and others not formally trained in the subspecialty of maxillofacial prosthetics.
