Those working in the Hungarian dental sector need no introduction to József Rátonyi, who through his work has perhaps done the most in recent years for removable dentures to regain their place in treatment.

This time we recommend his book, which can give inspiration to dental technician students, to masters and to treating clinicians alike. In our view it is essential reading! (The book is available in Hungarian.)

Table of contents from the book:

Clinical anatomy of the oral cavity

An insight into impression taking — making an anatomical model

Making a custom tray and a bite registration
