Book Description
Restorative dentistry is based on four basic principles: biocompatibility of materials, reduced tissue damage, longevity of restorations and esthetic considerations. The steady advance in the development of materials, coupled with improved understanding of ceramic bonding, reinforcement and light transmission, has given further emphasis to the esthetic aspects of restoration. This extensively illustrated text, prepared by a team with international experience, discusses these basic principles and presents a detailed clinical guide, for both the practitioner and the technician, to the esthetic techniques required for improving, restoring or rebuilding single teeth with various ceramic systems.

Description of book
This popular volume is designed to help train students in crown and bridge laboratory procedures. This is by far the best-selling dental laboratory technology book that we carry. The authors have endeavored to eliminate individual idiosyncrasies and to present a complete, clear description of laboratory procedures for fixed restorations.

This book is a classic in esthetic laboratory technology, and remains on the recommended reading list of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.

In this second volume, with numerous color photographs and diagrams, detailed techniques for making metaloceramic and alumina-reinforced crowns and bridges are presented. Special effects in dental porcelain, the Wedge Technique, development of correct anatomy, methods for avoiding loss of detail during glazing, casting technique, surface finishing of metal - these topics and more are critically examined in light of current research.
