Restoration Of The Anterior Maxilla With Ultraconservative Veneers: English Version [pdf]
I co-authored this article with Dr. John Kois back in 2001. This article breaks the tooth down into three zones; incisal, middle and cervical. Many years ago dentists learned one type of preparation design. As materials and techniques change, so does the preparation design. Developments in adhesion dentistry allowed the clinician to preserve tooth structure and create a much more conservative preparation. My favorite part of the article is the quote: “The individual talents of the laboratory technician are far more important than the specific brand of porcelain used.”
This article was published in Compendium by Dr. Ali Afshar in Edmonton, Alberta. Dr. Afshar was kind enough to include my work in his article.
A Systematic Approach to Recreate a Patient’s Former Smile [pdf]
I was asked by IDT to participate in an article about evidence based material selection. When it was my time to be interviewed the author had told me that she had talked to other contributors, and “Apparently, Evidence-Based doesn’t matter.” It was sad to hear this because I believe patients deserve better. Some of my comments still appeared in the article.
