Anterior Direct Restorations

This book about direct adhesive restorations of the anterior teeth is enriched with diagrams and drawings as teaching aids to simplify the clinical techniques described and guide the reader in applying them. The book explores the concepts essential for understanding shape, emphasizing its fundamental role in achieving esthetic success. Also covered are concepts related to color, including materials with color adjustment potential, and the necessary tools and instruments such as shade guides, methods of isolating the surgical field, and photographic equipment, to ensure the pre-dictable execution of esthetic restorations.

In addition, the diagnosis and treatment of white lesions (white spots), fragment reattachment procedures, anterior interproximal lesions, cervical lesions, and direct restorations on endodontically treated teeth (including whitening techniques) are included. Chapters focus on key concepts such as the reconstruction of the incisal edge, shape modification, direct veneering, and orthodontic techniques to achieve optimal results.
