Readers will find guidance on restorative techniques for cervical lesions, injection moulding, occlusal adaptation, and the management of failures. The book is a valuable companion explaining all the stages needed to achieving good, predictable, and long-term prognostic results in an efficient manner with respect to clinical principles proven and validated by academic studies.
