Contemporary Fixed Prosthodontics (Hardcover, 6)

Part I Planning and Preparation

Chapter 1 History Taking and Clinical Examination - adding a discussion on risk assessment as well as an extended discussion on assessing patients for sleep disorders.

Chapter 2 Diagnostic Casts and Related Procedures - adding a discussion on clinical photography as well as a discussion on digital smile design

Chapter 3 Treatment Planning - a discussion on minimally invasive prosthodontic procedures as well as a discussion on implant dentistry, and all ceramic restorations as related to ceramic materials to be used for different indications. (maybe moving chapter 3 to be second to last in Part I).

Chapter 4 Principles of Occlusion

Chapter 5 Periodontal Considerations

Chapter 6 Mouth Preparation - augmenting the discussion on orthodontic procedures particularly for clinical scenarios of mechanical wear and erosion to create restorative space and for space appropriation while preparing the patient in a manner that will facilitate the use of minimally invasive restorations. I would downplay the role of complete mouth occlusal adjustment since teeth eventually move and the occlusion is dynamic unlike what we experience with stone casts mounted on the articulator.
