Esthetics With Resin Composites: Basics and Techniques

In this volume aimed at dental and orthodontic practitioners and students, the late Hugo, who was an orthodontist, details how the options of highly aesthetic direct resin composite restorations in the anterior dentition can be combined with strict, consistent adherence to a minimally invasive approach. He discusses the basics of dental aesthetics, and presents step-by-step instructions, cases, and many color photos showing the use of resin composite for the build-up of anterior teeth and the closure of approximal gaps, the closure of black triangles, changes of position and shape, and directly-constructed fiber-reinforced fixed dental prostheses. Other sections cover the correction of tooth discoloration and the repair of resin composite restorations. The DVD illustrates techniques in selected cases.
