Fixed Restorations - A Clinical Guide to the Selection of Materials and Fabrication Technology

Description.

In "Fixed Restorations - A Clinical Guide to the Selection of Materials and Fabrication Technology", authors Irena Sailer, Vincent Fehmer and Bjarni Pjetursson have created a timely and comprehensive guide to modern reconstructive dentistry. They include contributions from a wide range of progressive and internationally respected dental professionals.


The book is divided into four parts: basic information on materials and manufacturing processes, step-by-step clinical procedures with comprehensive treatment presentations, long-term results and managing complications. With over 2000 clinical images and diagrams, supported by scientific evidence for recommendations, the best practices for fixed and restored supported tooth restorations are clearly described. The authors' extensive clinical and technical knowledge and experience has resulted in a unique textbook that will assist in making decisions on material selection and procedures for all patients requiring fixed restorations.

At the back of the book you get a little extra gift in the form of 5 inserted schematic summaries of important procedures. These are laminated and can be kept in the clinic as daily guides.
