The patient s satisfaction with the outcome of esthetic treatment depends, in large measure, on the clinician s ability to understand the patient s desires and in turn to communicate effectively with the dental ceramist. Facilitation of this three-way communication is the purpose of this new clinical atlas that documents many years of collaborative work between a world-renowned clinician and educator and a master dental ceramist. This beautiful, full-color book presents patient objectives, treatment plans and outcomes, shade selection, and other elements of the smile design, ie, arrangement, brightness, character, and incisal effects, in a spare and straightforward style. For the patient, the book serves as a visual guide to various restorative treatment options and to methods for previewing the esthetic outcome of treatment; for the clinician, it is a communication guide to demonstrate the possible therapeutic approaches and to arrive at an understanding of the patient s preferences; and for the ceramist, it is a visual base for fully comprehending the desired smile composition, tooth shape, and nuances of shading. An indispensable adjunct to the practitioner s esthetic treatment armamentarium. - from Amzon
