Facially generated treatment planning emphasizes the position of the maxillary central incisors, and the Global Diagnosis system takes this one step further by emphasizing the etiology of abnormal gingival anatomy. Once the etiology is determined, there are only a limited number of treatment options to correct the discrepancy. That is the power of the system: The diagnosis leads to the treatment plan. This completely overhauled second edition is based on the same five CORE questions of the first edition but includes a sixth: Is maxillary hypoplasia present? It welcomes 11 new authors and 16 new chapters, highlighting the use of sophisticated orthodontic, orthopedic, plastic surgery, otolaryngologic, and orthognathic strategies to resolve anatomical irregularities impacting smile design, function, and health. Airway-aware and airway-directed treatment planning is a particular focus, as well as the importance of early intervention in children to redirect aberrant growth as early as possible.

Clinicians will be familiar with the landmark first edition of this comprehensive and systematic textbook on implant-supported prosthodontic restorations. Now, this updated and expanded second edition gives you more, with the same thorough, patient-centered, and evidence-based approach to customized restorations. Over 3,000 beautiful clinical images illustrate the text, and useful information and summaries are provided in comprehensive tables, graphs, and charts. The numerous carefully designed decision trees simplify the decision process toward the appropriate treatment for every type of patient. The content flows from initial planning to aftercare, with the goal of providing each patient with the optimal treatment. Above all, there is a focus on the crucial interfaces between implantology and prosthodontics, prosthodontics and dental technology, and the patient and treatment team.

The book is divided into two volumes, with current information on digital workflows updating the content throughout. Volume 1 contains sections on the basic principles, treatment concept and planning, and clinical procedure. Volume 2 includes numerous patient case examples that expand on and elucidate the various concepts covered in Volume 1. It concludes with a section on dental laboratory procedures that encompasses both analog and digital workflows. Both volumes include comprehensive information on materials and equipment.

A: Glossary

Jeffrey P. Okeson

A complete denture must restore not only the patient’s ability to masticate food, along with appropriate esthetics and phonetics, but also replace the hard and soft tissues lost due to atrophy. Unfortunately, the necessary knowledge and skills to manage these complex rehabilitations has increasingly been forgotten in the education of dentistry and dental technology. While the dental industry has introduced new manufacturing protocols and developed new materials to simplify the process of denture-making, this “progress” has done little to improve patient care. On the contrary, patients are more than ever supplied with insufficient prosthetics, often the result of cost pressure in the laboratory, lack of training opportunities, and economic considerations by the treating dentist. The one who suffers is of course the patient, as these individuals will often accept even the most suboptimal solutions as an inevitable result of their tooth loss. Steffen Rohrbach wants to change that, promoting the notion that functional full dentures must not be a privilege of prosperity but accessible to every patient who needs them. And that starts with educating and equipping dental professionals to treat these cases well. This book records the treatment concepts that have benefitted his patients over the years and is intended to be a work of reference for diligent clinicians and dental technicians who want to improve patient care and deliver exceptional dentures to every patient who comes seeking their help.

Steffen Rohrbach

Single-implant treatment has become a common method of replacing missing and nonrestorable individual anterior and posterior teeth. While this treatment modality grows in popularity worldwide, complications can arise when implant biomechanical principles are not considered in treatment planning and clinical execution. This book details the seven complications common to single-implant therapy—infraposition/infraocclusion, interproximal contact loss, abutment screw loosening and fracture, fracture of single implants, ceramic chipping and fracture, loss of crown retention, and remake of the implant-supported crown—and describes the 25 biomechanical principles that must be observed to prevent these complications from developing after single-implant treatment. Furthermore, it links each complication with the specific biomechanical principles that were violated and how that violation resulted in said complication, as well as how to manage that complication and prevent it from recurring in the future. By the end of this book, readers should know how to address these three questions: What went wrong? Why did things go wrong? And how could the complication have been prevented?
