Esthetic Dentistry: A Clinical Approach to Techniques and Materials

This textbook should provide the dentist with all the tools necessary to provide state-of-the-art cosmetic dental treatment. The challenge in preparing this book was to create a definitive, all encompassing, single source of information presented in a clinically relevant, "user-friendly" manner. There is a problem-oriented "trouble-shooting" section that guides the practitioner to appropriate information. It permits diagnosis and treatment planning at a glance followed by appropriate cross-referencing to more detailed discussions of material selection and clinical technique. Also included is a comprenhensive discussion of special considerations, indications, and contraindications for each technique and material presented, as well as numerous case presentations. Advanced techniques and criteria are presented to aid the dentist in determining when to refer a patient for specialty care. Areas of specialization, including orthodontics, periodontics, oral surgery, dermatology, plastic surgery and cosmetology, are presented by 31 eminent contributors.
