Publisher's Synopsis
This book, featuring contributions from some of the foremost experts in Europe and the United States, is designed to draw together existing knowledge of the epidemiology of oral disease and the incidence of edentulousness in an aging population. It examines the expectations held by this increasingly affluent and sophisticated marketplace for prosthodontic treatment, not only functionally but also aesthetically and psychologically. As the cost of more sophisticated techniques continues to rise, the authors also address the economic and ethical implications of different treatment options.
