Quintessence of Dental Technology 2013

In QDT 2013, master clinicians present the newest concepts, laboratory techniques, and materials used by restorative and esthetic dentists and technicians. Focusing particularly on esthetic treatment using advanced ceramics, this year's issue covers topics such as pink ceramics, esthetic predictability using the anatomic shell technique, posterior crowns, noninvasive provisional restorations, and opacity control, with the "State of the Art" article featuring the inverse layering technique. Each original article is beautifully displayed in classic QDT fashion, making this year's issue another great addition to your QDT library.
