Just flew in from Budapest, so I'm going to crash. Catch up with everyone over the next few days.

I've got a lot of pictures to download and edit.

Virginia creeper or five-leaved ivy (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) is a woody vine native to eastern and central North America, in southeastern Canada, the eastern and central United States, eastern Mexico, and Guatemala, west as far as Manitoba, South Dakota, Utah and Texas.

It is a prolific climber, reaching heights of 20 to 30 m in the wild. It climbs smooth surfaces using small forked tendrils tipped with small strongly adhesive pads 5 mm in size. The leaves are palmately compound, composed of five leaflets (rarely three leaflets, particularly on younger vines) joined from a central point on the leafstalk, and range from 3 to 20 cm (rarely 30 cm) across. The leaflets have a toothed margin, which makes it easy to distinguish from poison-ivy, which has three leaflets with smooth edges.

The flowers are small and greenish, produced in clusters in late spring, and mature in late summer or early fall into small hard purplish-black berries 5 to 7 mm diameter. These berries contain oxalic acid, which is poisonous to humans and other mammals, and may be fatal if eaten. However, accidental poisoning is uncommon, likely because of the bad taste of the berries. Despite being poisonous to mammals, they provide an important winter food source for birds. Oxalate crystals are also contained in the sap, and can cause irritation and skin rash [1]

The Iceland Poppy (Papaver nudicaule) is a boreal flowering plant. Native to subpolar regions of northern Europe and North America, Iceland poppies are hardy but short-lived perennials,grown as biennials, that yield large, papery, bowl-shaped, lightly fragrant flowers supported by hairy, 1-foot, curved stems among feathery blue-green foliage 1-6 inches long. They were first described by botanists in 1759.

Il papavero d'Islanda (Papaver nudicaule) e un fiore boreale. Nativo delle regioni subpolari del nord Europa e in America del Nord.Questi papaveri sono resistenti, ma con fioritura di breve durata.I fiori sono grandi, cartacei, a forma di ciotola e leggermente profumati . Sono stati descritti per la prima volta nel 1759 dai botanici.

The leading prosthodontics resource for more than 40 years, McCracken's Removable Partial Prosthodontics provides the information you need to successfully manage the replacement of missing teeth. It covers the basic principles of treatment planning and design, and discusses the newest techniques, procedures, and equipment. Well-known educators Alan B. Carr, DMD, MS, and David T. Brown, DDS, MS use an evidence-based approach that helps you diagnose, design, develop, and sequence a treatment plan. A new chapter in this edition explains how to select and use implants to improve prosthesis performance. From initial contact with the patient to post-treatment care, from basic concepts to advanced material, this full-color text provides a complete foundation in prosthodontic care.


Colored boxes highlight the more advanced topics, so it's easy to focus on content that's appropriate for your level of experience.

Evidence-based approach uses current research to help you diagnose, design, develop, and sequence a treatment plan.

Various philosophies and techniques are presented, so you can select and incorporate applicable techniques on a case-by-case basis.

Chapters are presented in three logically-sequenced sections to keep specific focus areas together:



General Concepts/Treatment Planning

Clinical and Laboratory

Maintenance




Additional information on the use of implants includes:



New Considerations for the Use of Dental Implants with Removable Partial Dentures chapter, on improving prosthesis performance through increasing functional stability

New section on impact of implants on movements of partial denture

New section on implants as a rest

New section on implants as direct retainers

New section on implant considerations in design


New full-color drawings and photographs show techniques, materials, and anatomical detail more accurately.
