What's new with this edition?
As the first separate
edition of The Techniques, you will find a
mind-boggling 716 new photos to complement and augment those
that have appeared when this was a section of the annual
edition. Of the carry-over photos, many have been recropped and
have had their captions rewritten to better illustrate and
describe the clinical situation being depicted. While the format
has stayed largely intact, the text has been improved to make it
easier to read.
The sections with the most changes are the ones with the most
impact on your practice: Bridges with Full Coverage Retainers,
Bridges with Partial Coverage Retainers, Crowns, Provisional
Crowns & Bridges, Direct Restorations — Class I - V Veneers —
Direct Resin, Veneers — Porcelain & Indirect Resin, Bleaching,
Cosmetic Periodontics, and a totally revamped Photography
section that features digital technology. Long-term follow-ups
are also featured in many sections to show you what happens to
restorations after years of use and, sometimes, abuse.
Since knowing what to do is just as important as knowing how to
do a procedure, a completely new section, Treatment Planning,
has been included. This section will help answer questions such
as when to do a crown instead of a veneer and when to use
all-ceramic instead of ceramometal.
Some of the other “firsts” in this edition include an immediate
implant and subsequent all-ceramic crown in Crowns and the
surgical technique for a ridge augmentation in Cosmetic
Periodontics. As always, updated fee comparisons are listed as a
result of a survey sent to members of the Editorial Team and,
for U.S. dentists, the latest insurance codes from the
“hot-off-the-press” CDT- 4, published by the American Dental
Association.
Since this edition concentrates on procedures, only a few
products are mentioned. For a complete appraisal of available
products to help you perform these techniques, please see the
annual edition of REALITY,
which features evaluations and commentary on over 500 materials,
equipment, and devices.
