Dentures Books

One of the best resource/reference books for a GP dentist to have in his library.

This is not only a recommended text, but also virtually a "must have" for every GP! It works perfectly for both, theory and practice. It works greatly for a student as well.

Excellent book featuring:

* "picturesque" explaining (almost like a comic book), no clinical photography present though

* step by step instructions how to do it, with every material, bur or other used instrument explained in detail. Detail is what is great about this book - you can reconstruct every phase of the procedure to the last detail.

* fluidly written and easily understandable emphasizing the practice with all theoretical knowledge needed provided

Overall it is a great book for students which want to get a general knowledge about practice and theory of fixed prosthodontics in dentistry. Great beginners and advanced user book. (My mother who is a specialist of prosthodontic find it useful after years and years of practice). Only complaint - there were not any real clinical cases and clinical photography.

Anthony's book has helped our family come to terms with a very difficult decision. My wife and I have been anxious and sad at the thought of moving her mother to a long-term care facility. After reading "Who Moved My Dentures" we have a much better insight into the matter and feel more informed and less worried. As difficult as it is still going to be, just because of what it means to leave a house that has been your home for virtually your entire life, Anthony takes much of the edge off of the situation. His encouraging and warm first-person account of his experiences provides a balance to the negative press that long-term care facilities sometimes receive. He not only gives encouragement and support but also is humorous and enlightening, giving the reader a truly personal glimpse into the day-to-day lives of the wonderful people that live here and the dedicated people that care for them, including Anthony himself. If you will EVER have the need for information regarding long-term care, this is required reading. Great stories, great lives, great book!!

This book gives a comprehensive view of the realities of making decisions when it comes to placing loved ones into nursing homes and assisted living facilities. The stories and events explained in the book are enlightening, happy, sad, and quite true. Having gone through such an experience, I wish I would have known about this book as it would have provided comfort and assurance in knowing the decisions our family made were the correct ones when it came time for the assisted living and nursing home experiences with our dad.

Cirillo makes hundreds of visits to the various institutions described in his book, so he sees firsthand the challenges and difficulties that we all must face someday, but he presents it in such a way, that makes for interesting and valuable reading.

This book is a must read for all those that have aging loved ones that may be facing elder care alternatives and it will definitely help ease the burden of decisions that will ultimately have to be made. I recommend this book to everyone.

I wish I had this book when I had to weigh my options for putting a family member in a nursing home! Cirillo covered most of the relevant issues, and also provided some nice life-lessons for us all.
Cirillo writes is a very casual style. You almost feel like you are sitting down with a story teller, who happens to be a trusted friend. His allusions to his "old neighborhood" of South Philadelphia provide a nice slice of life. You can tell that Cirillo speaks from experience and with a passion for his commitment to long term care. This is not the cold synthesis of a researcher; rather stories with a purpose from a warm-hearted, well-organized educator, entertainer, and long term care professional.
This book is something that every potential client for long term care should read.

"Who Moved My Dentures" is must reading for baby boomers contemplating nursing home care for their parents, or thinking ahead some years when they may be residing themselves in such an institution. Many of us are apprehensive about aging, and Cirillo does a great job dispelling some of the myths of aging in America and what it's like living in an assisted care facility. In addition to being a healthcare professional, Cirillo entertains in diverse assisted living facilities, more than 300 shows a year on the east coast. Thus, he writes from an insider's view, and he has a unique perspective gained from experience at many different institutions. The myths Cirillo addresses in each chapter are the questions many of us with little experience have about such institutions; e.g., are they places to die vs. a temporary home to enjoy life, what types of activities can you do there, friendships, romance, visitors. The biggest take away for me was the information presented about long-term care insurance. The costs associated with assisted living, as with other health care costs, are very high in America. An unplanned extended stay in such a facility can severely impact the financial resources of families without some type of insurance protection. I recommend this short book (163 pages) as a good initial resource for someone considering assisted living.

This book came in very handy ,it not only addressed my issues with dentures but gave suggestions on possible problems in the future.

I found this book to be informative and funny. It not only
resolved some of my problems but also suggested some helpful hints in dealing with my dentures. Since the author was not a dentist but an average denture wearer it was written in everyday language. This book was an enjoyable and quick read. I definitely recommend this book......

I want to see the picture of sequelae of wearing complete dentures. Thanks for your cooperative.

My children love this story! The retrievers of the teeth are wonderful characters. The story makes for good storytelling as well.

I just love everything Annick Press puts out, and this book is no exception. The illustrations by Michael Martchenko (who also did The Paper Bag Princess) are vibrant and eyecatching, and reflect the whimsy of the storyline. A girl steals her uncle's teeth to show her friends, and then has a lot of trouble retrieving them from the fish that grabs them. Kids will love the way Walsh pokes gentle fun at authority figures like policemen, mayors, dentists, and so on.

This book is excellent. It presents an overview of partial denture design and some clinical and laboratory procedures. This book is very easy to read and is suitable for all dental personnel who would like a refreshing recap of removable partial dentures. I would very highly recommend this book to all dental students and graduates who are pursuing a postgraduate course or those who are interested in partial dentures.

This is such a fun book. It has great illustrations and a really neat rhyming pattern that my kids love. Not your typical poetry!

I was looking for a gag gift for my brother who was about to turn forty. I found the Denture Wearer's Cookbook and took a chance. In addition to the delicious recipes, we still chuckle at the outrageous cartoons scattered throughout. Looking for a perfect over the hill gift? You just found it.
