The main task of dental implantology is occlusal rehabilitation. We should call the end product a prosthesis, whether it is removable or not. As described, a prosthesis is a substitute for an organ or its function. At best, a patient should be able to forget that they are using a prothesis and its existence should in itself be satisfying to them. If we can fulfil these criteria, we have given the patient a gift, a gift which is one of the most mportant they will ever receive. The field of dental implantology increased rapidly until the beginning of the last decade. This book answers this need, giving the freshly graduated students a most valuable insight into implant supported complete dentures. Although it goes without saying that no one should even think of starting in the implant field without intensive study, including attendance at recognised courses of hands-on instruction. Several books exist which are aimed at the specialist but nothing has been published before that gives the students such a comprehensive overview of implant supported complete denture. This is a volume that the budding practitioners cannot afford to ignore.
