Sinopsis

In Mario Imburgia’s (Re)smiling, the author uses a standardized method combining digital technology and the milling of vertical monolithic lithium disilicate veneers. The book provides precise instructions on how to proceed, from preparation to bonding, as well as information on the steps involved in manufacturing vertical veneers using a full digital workflow. It also details how vertical veneers can be used to restore complex cases of substance loss or discoloration, and how this method can be more effective than traditional techniques. (Re)smiling is a practical guide for those who are seeking effective protocols that are simple to implement in their daily practice with predictable results.
