Quintessence of Dental Technology 2021/2022 - QDT Yearbook, Volume 44

Description
QDT 2021/2022 introduces new digital concepts and new treatment strategies that are sure to inspire the dental technician and dentist with restorative treatment options.

New this year are links to informative videos that can provide readers with a dynamic presentation of the new techniques.

Original articles in this year's volume describe the digital alveolar support technique, digital impression strategies for more predictable final restorations, a modified all-on-4 concept and a new crown-lengthening approach for optimal soft tissue healing. "Biomaterials Update" explores graduated color layers in zirconia, which can extend the indication of monolithic zirconia to the aesthetic zone. These are just a selection of the articles in this beautifully produced annual publication.
