Recipes for Composite Restorations

The analogy is explicit: the restorative dentist as cook and the aesthetic protocols as recipes that are learned, repeated and eventually made one's own. Ronaldo Hirata develops twenty-six of them, from posterior Class I and II with layering, bulk-fill or bioactive materials, to universal-shade composites, indirect restorations and CAD/CAM blocks. The emphasis falls not on spectacular technique but on the details that separate a correct result from an excellent one, and on the commonest missteps worth avoiding. An English volume for anyone wanting to secure the fundamentals of composite before moving on to anything more elaborate.
