Beschreibung
Globally, more than 350 million people are edentulous. Most of these individuals are not suitable candidates for dental implants, often due to financial constraints or inadequate supporting oral structures. In this book, Dr Edgar Garcia-Zea offers a predictable alternative that can restore function and esthetics for these patients without surgical intervention. By integrating the prosthodontic techniques established by Dr Jiro Abe with digital tools and workflows, he shows how to fabricate complete dentures that result in improved comfort, stability, retention, and masticatory function. The book outlines the step-by-step protocol for designing and fabricating mandibular suction-effective dentures, beginning with the initial functional evaluation and anatomical assessment followed by preliminary impressions, edentulous scanning, facial scans, tooth selection, Exocad design, prototypes, and final delivery.
