Description

Despite the many advances in modern dental research in biomaterials and tissue regeneration, no dental material can perfectly replace the natural tooth. The authors of this dynamic atlas argue that it is the mastery of multilayer techniques and not the materials themselves that is most important in recreating natural-looking restorations. This reference book uses over a thousand images to explore the different layers of the natural tooth and provides solutions on how to apply layers of composite resin to recreate the color, opacity, shape and surface abnormalities of the natural tooth. The authors provide step-by-step instruction on basic multilayer techniques as well as advanced techniques that are possible with a wide range of aesthetic dental materials. In addition, each chapter begins with insights from luminaries in the field of aesthetic dentistry, including Luiz Narciso Baratieri, Galip Gürel, Pascal Magne, Francesco Mangani, Ricardo Mitrani and Angelo Putignano, among others. Optimal multilayer techniques not only create natural beauty in restorations, but also mimic the bioarchitecture of natural teeth for optimal aesthetic results.
