Biomimetic Restorative Dentistry Volume 1 & Volume 2

This two-volume set describes new criteria for esthetic restorative dentistry based on biomimetics. It covers understanding the intact tooth and the biomimetic principle, parameters related to natural esthetics, ultraconservative treatment options, semi-(in)direct approaches in posterior and anterior teeth, esthetic treatment planning and the diagnostic approach, anterior indirect bonded porcelain restorations, and maintenance and advanced repair techniques. Discussion of treatment includes steps related to tooth preparation and impression, laboratory and CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) procedures related to the fabrication of composite resin and ceramic workpieces, and their final insertion through adhesive luting procedures.
