Introducing Our Upcoming Textbook: Removable Partial Dentures (Volume 1 of the Principia Prosthodontica Series)

This book is the first volume of our Principia Prosthodontica series, set to be published in 2025. Through this four-volume series, we aim to provide a comprehensive, step-by-step resource for practitioners in the field of removable prosthodontics. Each volume will tackle a different area of focus:

• Volume 1: Removable Partial Dentures (RPDs)
• Volume 2: Complete Dentures
• Volume 3: Overdentures – Implant and Tooth Supported
• Volume 4: Immediate Dentures

This first volume, focused on RPDs, is part of my broader mission to help dentists worldwide provide better removable prosthetics and create happier, more confident patients. I know firsthand that RPDs can be a challenging area for many practitioners. Between balancing aesthetics, functionality, and comfort, there's much to consider and navigate. Our goal with this book is to make the process clear, achievable, and, most importantly, rewarding.

In this volume, we dive deep into the principles and techniques that enable clinicians to create beautiful, functional RPDs that bring joy to their patients. Each chapter is crafted to offer practical, actionable insights that can be immediately implemented in clinical practice. We’re covering everything from initial impressions to design considerations, from common pitfalls to troubleshooting solutions. This isn’t just a textbook; it’s a practical manual for anyone looking to elevate their removable partial denture practice.

Dr. Besford and I have worked hard to make the content accessible and engaging. We aim for it to serve as a valuable resource for both seasoned prosthodontists and those newer to the field. Our hope is that it will spark inspiration, build confidence, and ultimately lead to improved outcomes for patients.

Whether you’re a dentist, clinical dental technician (CDT), or dental technician passionate about removable prosthodontics, I encourage you to keep an eye out for the release of Volume 1: Removable Partial Dentures. We’re excited to bring this series to you and, together, help advance the field of removable prosthodontics.
