Textbook of Removable Prosthodontics

The aim of this book is to present the Scandinavian treatment philosophy of removable prosthodontics in which biology and function have priority over the more technical approach favoured by others. The Scandinavian treatment philosophy is largely based on periodontal and clinical prosthodontic research, which has demonstrated that the critical factor in tooth and abutment survival is establishing and maintaining good periodontal health by plaque control, not by trying to reduce or distribute widely mechanical loading. This textbook covers the need for dental students to acquire adequate knowledge and clinical skills within this field.
