Clinical Perspective of Complete Denture Prosthodontics: Posterior Palatal Seal-Its Extension and Impression Techniques for Compromised Ridges

One s best teacher it is always one s best experience. The anterior lingual seal in a mandibular denture, PPS in a maxillary denture, and achievement of a balanced occlusion determine the high quality of complete denture prosthesis. Text book on Clinical perspective of complete denture prosthodontics provides basics and different treatment modalities in three parts. First part has comprehensive intraoral techniques for the posterior palatal seal- its extension. Second part highlights impressions for compromised ridges of maxillary and mandibular complete denture in the five different categories as resorbed ridge, flabby ridge, patient with limited mouth opening (microstomia), gagging and habit of retraction of tongue. Third part discusses the impression for single complete denture for compromised ridges. Book carries more than twenty two illustrations, fifty seven figures and about forty nine references. Present clinical works have been published in reputed world journals. Author proposed the additional reverse curve of bow shaped, cupid-bow shaped PPS as well as different impression techniques for compromised ridges and atrophic ridge of single complete denture.
