The Science and Art of Occlusion and Oral Rehabilitation

The Science and Art of Occlusion and Oral Rehabilitation

Martin Gross

This clinically oriented book provides an overview of current concepts and clinical practices for managing occlusion in restorative dentistry.
This exhaustive book provides an overview both of current scholarly concepts and of contemporary clinical practices for managing occlusion in restorative dentistry. With an emphasis on clinical historical context, the book explains the rationale behind treatment concepts and provides evidence-based protocols for simple treatments (e.g. single restorations) to the most involved cases (e.g. fixed and removable prostheses). Featuring overviews of the relevant biological systems and the fundamentals of occlusion as well as pertinent contemporary cases presented by their original practitioners, this book offers detailed, up-to-date information on all aspects of occlusion and oral rehabilitation.
