Clovis Pagani sets out the basic principles and the sequence of preparation here, and works through the various designs indicated for each clinical situation, with an eye to biological respect, the conservation of tooth structure and the precision of the margins. Each design is unfolded through high-quality three-dimensional images that break the procedure down into steps, which makes the work a very direct visual support both for the surgery and for teaching. Published in English, it will interest the restorative dentist and the resident who is building up his or her preparation criteria.
