Book Description
This book presents the philosophy of biomimetics (the mimicking of nature). The authors combine sound biologic principles with an great respect for the natural intact tooth to achieve a supremely esthetic result with bonded porcelain restorations. This approach draws upon the ideal hues, the subtle shades, and especially the intracoronal anatomy of the natural tooth to serve as a guide to the reconstruction of a beautiful smile. A checklist of fundamental esthetic criteria is presented, and diagnosis, treatment planning, tooth preparation, laboratory procedures, adhesive luting procedures, and maintenance protocols are carefully detailed. The reader will find all the information and step-by-step instruction needed to obtain superior results. Work by the authors is showcased throughout the book.

This book/DVD set, the legacy of a gifted dentist and lecturer, demonstrates the diverse treatment options available and the impressive outcomes that can be achieved with the skillful use of the direct resin composite technique. The book shows how highly esthetic direct resin composite restorations can be created in the anterior dentition using a minimally invasive approach. Step-by-step procedures for completing treatment in a single session are detailed in text and full-color photographs for various clinical situations. In addition, the presentation of complex clinical cases provides the dental practitioner with insights into the potential modern uses of resin composite for the buildup of anterior teeth, the closure of approximal gaps and black triangles, changes in tooth position and shape, and directly constructed, fiber-reinforced fixed dental prostheses. The accompanying DVD contains video footage of clinical procedures described in the book to enhance the reader’s ability to achieve similar treatment results.

Book Description:
When dental practitioners lack training in the art and science of color, the deficiency often becomes glaringly evident in the quality of their restorative work. This book was written to simplify the study of color and help dentists communicate shade easily and accurately. It begins by presenting the basics of color theory within the context of esthetic dentistry and the factors that affect the transmission and perception of color. This is followed by how-to chapters on conventional and technology-based shade matching, which highlight the advantages and drawbacks of each approach and provide step-by-step shade-matching methods and protocols. This updated and expanded second edition also includes chapters on the use of digital photography for shade verification and the influence of material selection on color matching. In the final two chapters, the authors present their own recommended shade-matching protocol (which combines conventional and computer-based techniques) and an expanded series of cases demonstrating its application in various clinical scenarios. Highly recommended for students, general practioners, and specialists.

Book Description:
This is the first book to be published on the Invisalign System, and is designed for clinicians who want to integrate Invisalign into their practice. It provides the reader with an in-depth look at the technology, performance, and clinical applications of this uniquely esthetic and patient-friendly approach to orthodontic treatment. Unlike conventional fixed orthodontic treatment approaches, Invisalign is a system that uses the clinician’s diagnostic data to create a three-dimensional image of the desired course of tooth movement; treatment is then carried out using a series of custom-manufactured removable, clear plastic aligners. The book is full of full-color images that illustrate every step of this process: impression taking, image acquisition, and virtual diagnosis through digital three-dimensional treatment planning. Clinical considerations, such as indications and contraindications, esthetic analysis, and treatment of adolescents, are also discussed. In addition, the technology behind the Invisalign System - including software, appliance design, manufacturing, material properties, biomechanics of force systems applied to the teeth, and periodontal response to treatment - is presented in the context of how it currently functions as well as research and development for future innovations.
