Challenging Nature: Wax-up Techniques in Aesthetics and Functional Occlusion

Wax-up runs through this volume by Paulo Kano, devoted to rebuilding dental anatomy in wax with simultaneous attention to aesthetic criteria and to the demands of functional occlusion. Conceived as an atlas, it rests its exposition on the sequence of images rather than on theoretical development. Alongside morphology come impression technique and dental prosthetics, fields to which wax-up relates directly. The book is aimed at the laboratory technician and at the dentist working in fixed prosthodontics and aesthetics. Published in English in 2011, it runs to 371 pages.
