Esthetic Rehabilitation in Fixed Prosthodontics - Esthetic Analysis – Volume 1

There are some basic, universally recognised principles that govern our ideas about what is considered attractive. Countenance and smile determine the expressive strength and quality of each individual, representing forms of nonverbal communication that are able to express joy, friendliness, generosity and approval.

This volume provides the clinician with a systematic approach to aesthetic evaluation during treatment planning. Separate chapters guide the reader to an understanding of the aesthetic parameters involved in facial, dentolabial, phonetic, dental and gingival analysis. Prosthetic considerations and applications are given for each of these parameters to provide further guidance for formulating an optimal treatment plan based on the individual clinical situation of the patient, which often demands a multidisciplinary approach and the involvement of other branches of dentistry.
