Challenging Nature: Wax-up Techniques in Aesthetics and Functional Occlusion

Description

Fabrication of posterior prosthetic teeth is an art that requires technicians to reproduce the minute details of occlusal form using difficult methods of wax-up. Written for students as well as experienced clinicians, this landmark two-volume book will change the way that technicians wax up teeth. The atlas volume guides readers, step-by-step, through the author's revolutionary wax-up technique to recreate the complex morphology of premolar and molar teeth. The accompanying text volume provides straightforward explanations and illustrations of all techniques. Lavishly illustrated throughout, each chapter builds technical knowledge with chapters on nomenclature, morphology, wax handling and application, functional wax-up sequences for maxillary and mandibular dentition, and adhesive cementation and culminates in a series of impressive clinical cases. A must-have resource for any dental technician wanting to review occlusal form and improve the functional morphology of posterior restorations.
