Prosthodontists' preferences in preprosthetic surgery. 1986

L R Meador, and D Ash, and D M Laskin

A survey of members of the Federation of Prosthodontic Organizations was done to determine their opinions about various preprosthetic surgical procedures used to treat patients with alveolar atrophy of the maxilla and mandible. In most instances there was lack of consensus, indicating a need for consultation and close cooperation between the oral and maxillofacial surgeon and the prosthodontist in the management of individual patients.
