In this step-by-step guide, Dr Edgar Garcia-Zea presents a predictable, non-surgical alternative that restores function and esthetics for these patients. By combining the prosthodontic principles established by Dr Jiro Abe with contemporary digital tools and workflows, he shows how to fabricate mandibular complete dentures with improved comfort, stability, retention, and masticatory function. The book follows the full protocol — from functional evaluation and anatomical assessment through preliminary impressions, edentulous and facial scanning, tooth selection, Exocad design, prototyping, and final delivery — making suction-effective digital dentures accessible to the everyday practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA non-surgical, implant-free option for the edentulous mandible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Abe suction concept translated into a modern digital workflow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom tray design, border molding, and definitive functional impressions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdentulous and facial scanning, tooth selection, and Exocad design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigital manufacturing through to delivery and follow-up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePatient evaluation and anatomical assessment; custom tray design; border molding and definitive impressions; denture design; try-in; digital manufacturing of complete dentures; and delivery with structured follow-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr Edgar Garcia-Zea is a prosthodontist and educator focused on digital complete-denture therapy, recognised for adapting suction-effective denture techniques to accessible, technology-supported workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.
