Jean-François Lasserre starts from a simple and demanding idea: every convincing restoration is born of the observation of nature, of the functional anatomy of the tooth and of the optical behaviour of its surface. Together with an international team of clinicians, he proposes a synthesis of current restorative dentistry that brings together mimicry, minimally invasive adhesion, the reasoned use of the new ceramics and functional integration. Questions as specific as the criteria for choosing the ingot in pressed lithium disilicate ceramics, or bonded bridges in ceramic and metal-ceramic for replacing an anterior tooth, are addressed. An English-language work for the clinician and the technician who look for the detail.
