Features: This book includes fundamental knowledge on treatment planning, occlusion, and dental preparation, which are essential for clinicians to make accurate judgments in practice. Additionally, some chapters introduce various specialized topics. Furthermore, since dentists and students must master certain special techniques and instruments in daily clinical work, these are also discussed in the book. Besides providing extensive background knowledge on different fixed restorative treatments, the book has been updated with new information, including the use of novel cements, new and advanced impression materials, and advancements in soft tissue preparation methods before impression taking. The book also highlights noteworthy updates on new occlusal devices, facebows, occlusal concepts, and precise methods for fabricating removable models. For teeth with increasingly common periodontal conditions, the book presents techniques for managing molars with root exposure or root resection. The primary target audience for this book is dental students who need to grasp fundamental knowledge, while it can also serve as a reference for practicing dentists and graduate dental students.
