The latest offering in the Clinical Success series, this book presents the clinical and laboratory protocols for successful treatment of a hopeless dentition using an immediate complete denture. As an alternative approach to traditional complete dentures, the treatment strategy described in this book enables practitioners to deliver a functional prosthesis on the same day as the final extractions of the anterior dentition, thus facilitating patient adjustment to the edentulous state. Numerous clinical examples and a case presentation illustrate each step-by-step procedure, including impression taking, registration of the maxillomandibular relationship, prosthetic fabrication, use of surgical stents, placement of the definitive prosthesis, and problem solving for complex clinical situations.
