As in all fields of the healing arts in recent years, there has been tremendous change in this area of dentistry Improved materials, instruments, and techniques have made it possible for today's operator of average skills to provide a service whose quality is on par with that produced only by the most gifted dentist of years gone by. The path taken depends upon one's knowledge of sound biological and mechanical principles, the growth of manipulative skills to implement the treatment plan, and the development of a critical eye and judgment for assessing detail. Restorations in this field of dentistry can be the finest service rendered for dental patients, or the worst disservice perpetrated upon them. Successfully treating a patient by means of fixed prosthodontics requires a thoughtful combination of many aspects of dental treatment: patient education and the prevention of further dental disease, sound diagnosis, periodontal therapy, operative skills, occlusal considerations, and sometimes, placement of removable complete or partial prostheses and endodontic treatment. Ixed prosthodontics is the art and science of restoring damaged teeth with cast metal, metal-ceramic, or all-ceramic restorations, and of replacing missing teeth with fixed prostheses.

Whitsett, DDS Richard Jacobi, DDS Susan E. Shillingburg, Jr, DDS Sumiya Hobo, DDS, MSD, PhD Lowell D. Finally, the topics of esthetic and implant restorations, which have become increasingly emphasized in dental practice, are given greater attention.Herbert T. Different ways of handling edentulous ridges with defects that provide better control over the functional and cosmetic outcome are also presented. New articulators, facebows, and concepts of occlusion have been added, along with precise ways of making removable dies. Specific techniques and instruments are discussed, and updated information has been added to cover new cements, new impression materials and equipment, and changes in soft tissue management methods used during impression procedures. It is designed to serve as an introduction to restorative dentistry techniques using fixed partial dentures and cast metal, metal-ceramic, and all-ceramic restorations, providing the background knowledge needed by the novice and serving as a refresher for the practitioner or graduate student. The fourth edition of this popular undergraduate text has been updated and expanded to reflect new research, materials, and techniques in fixed prostho-dontics, with the addition of more than 350 new illustrations and three new chapters on the restoration of implants.
