McCracken's Removable Partial Prosthodontics - Elsevier eBook on VitalSource, 12th Edition
Elsevier eBook on VitalSource
The standard prosthodontics text for more than 40 years, this resource explains the basic principles and concepts of removable partial denture treatment planning and design. An evidence-based approach includes discussions of the newest techniques, procedures, and equipment. A new chapter in this edition explains how to select and use implants to improve prosthesis performance. From initial contact with the patient to post-treatment care, from basic concepts to advanced material, this full-color text provides a complete foundation in prosthodontic care.
