Customized All-Ceramic Dental Prostheses

Customized All-Ceramic Dental Prostheses: A Graphic Introduction to Advanced Materials and Procedures presents a full, cross-disciplinary map to customized, all-ceramic, dental prostheses commonly used in dentistry nowadays. Their application for repairing damaged teeth or restoring the lost teeth of patients comprises many steps of a cross-disciplinary nature.

The book explores materials processes and clinical procedures, and integrates fundamental understanding with real practices. A unique approach to photographic illustration makes the book easy to understand, even for non-specialists. This valuable reference is suitable for dentists, dental technicians, dental students, materials developers and students, and dental patients alike.
