"Good description and explanation of different aspects of prosthetics and orthotics."
"I really like this book, it is short but not to short and gives you what you need to know."
"O&P students may find the case study approach of the text useful, but it is not as in-depth as texts like Orthotics and Prosthetics in Rehabilitation, 2e which is an excellent text. Practicing ortho-prosthetists will appreciate the section on "Teaching Prosthetic Control" in chapter 7."
"Severely outdated, not worth the money."
Material thoroughly explores the three dimensional concept of available bone and the implant treatment options for each type of bone anatomy, which enables practitioners to treat patients at any stage of edentulism. A comprehensive discussion of bone density in an edentulous site explains this determining factor in treatment planning, implant design, surgical approach, healing time, and initial progressive bone loading during prosthetic reconstruction.
