Bonded Porcelain Restorations in the Anterior Dentition: A Biomimetic Approach

In restorative dentistry, our goal is typically to give patients a smile they love that will help improve their dental health for as long as possible. The biomimetic approach takes this even further, with a focus on preserving the structure of the natural tooth and restoring the function and biomechanics of healthy teeth and dental structures. 

Guided by the philosophy of biomimetics, authors Pascal Magne and Urs Belser dive into the use of bonded porcelain to achieve esthetic satisfaction and maximum functionality. Unlike traditional veneers, the approach described here is anatomically guided, drawing upon intact teeth to guide to reconstruction. 

What sets this book apart, in our opinion, is the detailed checklist of fundamental esthetic criteria, including protocols for diagnostics, treatment planning, diagnostics, tooth preparation, laboratory procedures, adhesive luting procedures, and maintenance. It effectively serves as step-by-step instruction for superior results using bonded porcelain.
