MUSELLA V.
 
An A to Z Guided Workflow
The present volume is a complete guide or blueprint explaining the newest and most advanced therapeutic dental strategies. The text is accompanied by more than 1,300 photographic images of the highest quality, and meanwhile the text itself focuses on explaining the necessary steps to obtain predictable and stable results in a schematic and synthesized manner.

Within this volume the topic of photography is greatly emphasized, with a thorough description of all equipment and relevant advice as to how to obtain high-quality photographic documentation. Moreover, the author illustrates in substantial depth the dental technique of "esthetic preview," also known as an esthetic mock-up, and the technique of inverse layering (direct and indirect). 

Considerable research has been dedicated to the notion of esthetic rehabilitation with the use of lithium disilicate. In addition to its traditional use, the present volume describes alternative means of using the material.
