Excellent text |
|
I bought this book because I am interested in esthetic dentistry. The pictures are amazing and its well written and easy to read. The fact that his ideas are backed by research makes it all the more worthwhile. I would consider using the book to show patients the photographs if they have a similar case. Just need to find a lab tech who can produce what Dr. Magne's tech does! Team this book with Dawson's Functional Occlusion and you'll be doing long lasting beautiful dentistry. |

What a Book - a must BUY |
|
The author takes an revolutionary approach to restoring anterior teeth, a Biomimetic approach. The author goes back to basics and studies nature i.e. the form and function of natural teeth. He then studies how each tissue (dentine/enamel) behaves mechanically (when loaded) and where the forces and stresses concentrate. These findings then lay the foundation as to how teeth should be restored i.e. should they be restored so they are as strong as nature (mimic natures strength) or stronger. The author tends to favour the former approach, and goes about outlining materials and design principles that will achieve this result. He presents an extremely interesting method and commonsense approach to restoring teeth. By reading this book, it allows us to reflect upon the potential disasters (verticle root fractures, decorination) that may be caused by restoring teeth in the traditional way (crowns & posts) whereby making them stronger than nature. |

You must have this book |
|
This book is a must have if you enjoy doing bonded porcelain restorations and you want to see how a master does it. The lab work is unbelievable and the photography is excellent. Its like having an Ansel Adams book: you have to see how the best do it so that you have something to aspire to. The cost is pretty high, but so what. You will want to take notes when you read this. If you are really flush with cash, buy one for your lab tech. |
