It gives an overview of all stages of patient management including technical support, ergonomics, working technique, and workflow of the treatment stages. Up-to-date guidance is provided on tools, materials, diagnosis, and planning protocols as well as on pre-restorative procedures. Layering and morphology modelling techniques of the anterior and posterior teeth are covered in detail and methods for direct proximal wall restoration are explained. Readers will find guidance on restorative techniques for cervical lesions, injection moulding, occlusal adaptation, and the management of failures.
