Description

This is an extraordinary dental recipe book. It goes into the basic details of the procedure for most composite restorations, but also for other aesthetic treatments such as bleaching and resin infiltration of demineralized fluorosis stains. Each chapter is structured like a recipe, with a list of materials and necessary instruments, a brief theoretical review and a step-by-step illustrated procedure. 

Much will be familiar to the experienced dentist, but the book is so rich in practical tips and tricks that there will be plenty of inspiration for most. It's a brilliant tool for training newly qualified clinic staff - and as a reference work when explaining treatments to patients

Most of all, it's just a pleasure to experience aesthetically. It's creativity at a high level.

Dr. Hirata demonstrates how to get the best possible results from composite materials by focusing on details and techniques. In restorative dentistry, the key is to use the right materials with the best technique. However, that's not enough. Every chef knows that once you've learned the basics, your best work should also reflect your personal character, and the same goes for the work of dentists. By focusing on the skillful use of the right materials and tools, this tour de force will teach you how to take your restorative protocols to the next level. Keep it simple. Focus on mastering the basics.
