Understanding the importance of the neutral zone is key to successful prosthodontic treatment. In Application of the Neutral Zone in Prosthodontics, Dr. Joseph Massad and his colleagues present methods and techniques for constructing predictable complete, implant-supported, and implant-retained prostheses. In addition to the incorporation of the neutral zone technique, the authors have included the inter-arch tracer and external surface impressions into the denture fabrication process. All the steps of denture fabrication, including patient examination, impression making, occlusal, esthetic, and neutral zone records, try-in, and placement, have been described in detail, including the laboratory procedures. Successful denture therapy can be challenging for less experienced practitioners. As a consequence, many dentists opt to not offer complete dentures as part of their practices. This book addresses the most common problems with dentures and provides time-tested techniques for successful clinical outcomes.
