A Clinical Guide to Direct Cosmetic Restorations with Giomer This book aims at providing readers with a better understanding of the "Art and Science" of direct cosmetic restorations. The principles of smile design and cosmetic dentistry are covered in detail together with the use of the "Smile Design Wheel". The latter was developed as a simple guide that indicates the components of smile design, their clinical significance and treatment sequences. An overview of present-day tooth-coloured restoratives and bonding technologies is provided with special emphasis on the Giomer concept, the most recent hybrid restorative materials, which attempts to combine the positive attributes of glass ionomer with resin technology. Restorative protocols are covered in detail and procedures for a wide variety of clinical scenarios are demonstrated using a step-by-step illustrated approach with more than 940 illustrations. The lat chapter of this book serves as a patient communications tool with "before and after" clinical [photographs of various direct cosmetic restorative possibilities. This book is an important adjunct to the practice of asethetic adhesive dentistry and will be useful for dental students, general dental practitioners as well as specialists involved in the provision of direct cosmetic restorations.
