Terry, a dentist in private practice in the US, and Geller, a ceramist and dental technician in Switzerland, provide a guide to material selection and technique in esthetic and restorative dentistry, focusing on the objectives of prevention, preservation, and perpetuation of longevity. They describe an interdisciplinary approach to the use of materials and address diagnostic and communication concepts, principles of tooth preparation, composite resins, ceramic materials, the impression process, mechanisms of adhesion, adhesive cements, provisionalization, esthetic post systems, finishing and polishing esthetic restorative materials, dental photography, periodontal plastic surgery, implantology, and biomodification of tooth discoloration. This edition includes updated developments, materials, and techniques, such as web-based communication with the laboratory, indirect composite chairside CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufacturing) restorations, an update on ceramic systems and new esthetic zirconia, a comparison of digital impression systems with conventional techniques, the resin composite injection technique, a comparison of traditional "extension for prevention preparation" designs with current adhesive preparation designs, and microscopic images. Chapters have been updated with new photos, patient scenarios, and scientific expertise. Other new topics include maintenance for esthetic restorative materials; curing light information for bulk-fill resin composites; esthetic contouring; immediate dentin sealing; and novel surgical techniques, including lip repositioning in combination with crown lengthening, ridge preservation with collagen membranes, the tunneling technique, connective tissue grafting, and implant-supported full-mouth rehabilitations. Online access to video content is included. Annotation ©2018 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
Restorative dentistry has seen dramatic advances in recent years, especially with the use of digital technologies, and this book provides the most up-to-date information on enhanced developments, materials, and techniques that have emerged since the publication of the second edition, offering the reader a completely updated, revised, and newly illustrated overview of modern esthetic and restorative dentistry complete with tutorial videos. New topics include web-based communication with the laboratory, indirect composite chairside CAD/CAM restorations, a comparison of digital and conventional techniques, the resin composite injection technique, as well as updated information on composites and ceramic systems, including esthetic zirconia. New cases illustrate the maintenance of esthetic restorative materials, esthetic contouring, immediate dentin sealing, and novel surgical techniques such as lip repositioning, connective tissue grafting, and ridge preservation with collagen membranes. Dr Terry expanded his team of editorial reviewers to include the best minds in research and clinical practice, and the final product is a testament to his dedication to patient satisfaction and treatment success. The techniques demonstrated in this book will no doubt elevate your practice to the next level.Contents: 1. Diagnostic and Communication Concepts 2. Principles of Tooth Preparation 3.
