Preface
“If the magnifying glass is powerful enough, you can always find something that can be improved,” said the seasoned restorative dentist. That sentiment aptly describes almost all aspects of Fixed Prosthodontics and undoubtedly also applies to this fourth edition of Contemporary Fixed Prosthodontics.
It is a privilege to have had the opportunity to once again try to comprehensively chronicle our chosen field. As we embarked on this new edition, we had many objectives in mind, including improving readability, making the nomenclature correct and consistent throughout, and, in the now established tradition, thoroughly updating the content and references. Our biggest challenge, though, was the conversion of all photographs to full color. At times, this seemed an almost overwhelming task. Soon after our editor said, “How would you like to do your next edition in full color?” it became painfully apparent that we could not simply substitute the original photographs. Thus, a gargantuan task evolved, with the indirect benefit that we were forced to look for alternative means of illustrating and clarifying content. It made us revisit the underlying rationale for the use of all illustrations throughout the text. Thus, as the process unfolded, we identified a substantial number of instances in which either a slight shift in focus or perhaps a new approach in presentation of content will help both the novice and the experienced practitioner to more quickly grasp the various concepts that are presented.
Today, the skills and understanding taught by Fixed Prosthodontics faculty are in extremely high demand in practice. Concurrently, dental education programs have found it difficult to attract and retain an adequate number of qualified faculty members. Without qualified faculty, programs are unable to sustain continuity in their curriculum and to fully develop their programs in keeping with the many technological advances in the field. The “baby-boomer generation” is confronted with increasingly complex treatment needs in a society that is demanding more and more esthetic treatment options, one of the many areas in which content continues to evolve and expand. Since publication of the first 500-page edition in 1988 (followed by the 1995 and 2000 editions), the size of this text has approximately doubled. Rather than adding indiscriminantly, we have relied on feedback from our readers at all levels: students, graduate students, practitioners, researchers, and manufacturers all have shared their insights and suggestio
