Photography *The complete guide to dental p hotog raphy R. M. G oodlin 96 pages with illustrations. Index. Glossary. Appendexes. Montreal, Michael Publishing Co, Inc, 1987 T his handy, compact ( 6 x 9 in) manual is meant to “ guide the novice photographer through all the necessary steps to producing excellent . . . clinical photographs.” A short chapter on equipm ent selection introduces the basic equipm ent, including a 35-mm camera, macro lenses, lighting, film, data backs, auto winders, retractors, and mirrors. Following the guidelines of the Biological Photographer Association for a standard series of clinical photographs, including intraoral and extraoral series, the author first presents an example of a complete series. Although the color reproductions are acceptable, rigid adherence to composition and magnification ratios results in a number of faults that make the illustrations unattractive. These photo graphs are meant to set a standard for the novice to follow; therefore, distracting features such as underexposure, extraneous objects, and off-center occlusal views should have been eliminated. Each view of the standard series is illustrated in sections w ith three schematic draw ings that indicate patient, assistant, and photographer position, respec tively; where the electronic flash should be placed (when a point light source is used); and placement of retractors, if needed. A blackand-white photograph accompanies drawings to show the properly composed view. Concise,

REVIEWS
helpful text explains the points illustrated in the schematics. A variety of other topics, such as photo graphing dental models, reproduction of radiographs, photographing pathologic con ditions, and biopsy specimens and title slides, are also discussed. The final chapter deals with practice management, marketing ideas, and education. This resource contains a wealth of practical inform ation that even knowledgeable pho tographers will find useful. Unfortunately, the photographs used are black and white; are too small to merit much attention, and are generally substandard. If the publishers could be persuaded to replace most of these plates with color illustrations, the purchase of this guide would be a necessary prerequisite to successful dental photography by novices.

Prosthetic devices Treatment of the edentulous patient Victor O. Lucia 248 pages with illustrations. Bibliography. Index. Chicago, Quintessence Publishing Co, 1986 The author provides an excellent overview for treatm ent of edentulous patients. The m ucostatic im pression, post-dam , vertical dimension, and registration techniques were all described in detail with sound reasoning to support techniques presented. The gnathological concept applied to complete dentures is well explained and supported. In addition to removable complete dentures, the text also includes an overview of immediate dentures, overdentures, and a chapter on surgical procedures. Sophisticated treatm ent for edentulous patients with special needs is described. The edentulous patient is most often medically com prom ised and has resorbed residual alveolar ridges.
The denture technique presemed here is sound treatment for the edentulous patient. The book is well written and organized, and the illustrations are complementary. James W.

Removable partial dentures Robert P. Renner and Louis J. Boucher 415 pages with illustrations. Bibliography. Index. Chicago, Quintessence Publishing Co, 1987 A lthough the opening chapter provides a general overview of removable partial denture service, the authors assume the reader is already knowledgeable in the field and make frequent references to the Kennedy classification and many terms—for example, reciprocal arms and dental surveyor—without accompanying descriptions or definitions. Surprisingly, in Figure l-14a, the authors recommend reducing the retromolar pad rather than the maxillary tuberosity; Figure l-14c, which is given in support of the decision, is unclear. In introducing the well-illustrated chapter “Components of a removable partial denture,” the authors correctly indicate that many dentists place too much importance on the relatio n sh ip between the classification of partially edentulous arches and the application of a removable partial denture (RPD) design. Unlike the Beckett classification, the Kennedy classification does not indicate the amount and type of support required for the prostheses. However, the authors again assume consid erable familiarity with the subject by using terms such as RPI and RII-Bar Clasp, without explanation, although well illustrated. No reference is made to proximal plates. Occlusal rests are described as dissipating horizontal forces, and the term minor connector is used to describe the acrylic anchorage as well as the more traditional concept of a connector between the major connector and some other component. Chapter 3, “Surveying and design analysis,”

describes an approach to design that is analytical and systematic. The various RPD components are well defined and described, and the indications and contraindications are provided. The authors point out that socalled indirect retainers “ have little effect on the actual retention of the prosthesis.” I have always believed that indirect retention is a principle of design—a concept of stability that is satisfied by the strategic placement of an occlusal rest, a stable pattern of retainer placement, or an extension of the denture base to the opposite side of the fulcrum line. For these reasons, the term “indirect retainer” is misnamed. “ E xam ination, diagnosis and treatm ent planning” contains a timely reference “legal considerations” (pp 122-123), and good advice concerning p atien t abandonm ent (p 165). A four-page summary, “ Prognostic aids,” although unwieldy as a clinical record, reminds practitioners of the comprehensive nature of RPD therapy and emphasizes all the factors that should be considered. The chapter on impressions and production of the cast frame presents a variety of simplified but practical and effective techniques. The section headed “ Concepts and rationales” reminds the reader that the ultimate support for a distal-extension RPD is the bearing area, and refers to the work of DeVan and Synge. Using this background, the authors describe in detail two altered or corrected cast-impression techniques—one using model ing compound and metallic oxide impression paste and the other, Iowa wax. Adequate coverage and extension of the denture-bearing area are critical to the success of a residual ridge-supported RPD. W ith 69 pages and 140 illustrations, the chapter on "M axillom andibular relations” presents a thoughtful and analytical approach to diagnosing and planning the occlusion. U nfortunately, the legends to Figures 7-3 and 7-4, and Figures 7-31 and 7-30 are interchanged, and it was surprising to see the use of distal occlusal rests in a Kennedy Class II situation illustrated in Figures 748a to f. In Chapter 8, the authors emphasize the importance of instructing the patient in the care of the oral tissues and the prosthesis. One novel b u t practical suggestion is the use of 4-ply synthetic knitting yarn to clean the distal surfaces of abutments. On the other hand, one wonders why the authors include hypochlorite denture cleaners when the risk of improper use and consequent damage to chrome cobalt cast frames is so great. 630 ■ JADA, Vol. 117, October 1988
Chapter 9 discusses insertion procedures in detail and provides summaries of postin sertion problems and their probable causes, which are excellent sources of inform ation for inexperienced practitioners. Overall, the authors have written a valuable textbook on RPD therapy. The material is well organized and presented in a logical and sequential manner. The 715 black and white illustrations are generally good, con veniently placed, and explanatory. T he approach of the authors to RPD therapy is systematic and thorough, and emphasizes the importance of precise clinical techniques and accurate laboratory procedures. Finally, the authors are to be commended for providing such a complete bibliography.

Modern dental prosthetics procedures are used to restore and replace damaged and lost teeth, and to elim inate functional derangements that cause damage to masticatory structures and localized tissue. Partial dentures serve as therapeutic aids and must be designed to encourage rebuilding and refitting. It is most im portant, therefore, that biological inter actions be understood. The 843 illustrations in this book, together with the descriptive captions, aim at providing this understanding.
