Esthetic Dentistry and Ceramic Restorations (Hardcover) by Paul Miara, Bernard Touati, Dan Nathanson

9781853171598. New condition. Hard cover. Language: English. Intended for professional and scholarly audience. 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.
