Publisher's Synopsis
As the field of esthetic dentistry has exploded into the forefront of dentistry over the past 15 years, so has the knowledge, expertise and technology. Editor, Ronald Goldstein, widely considered the father of modern cosmetic dentistry, wrote the first comprehensive textbook on esthetic and cosmetic dentistry in 1976. Goldstein describes this third edition as “the world's first complete textbook on esthetic dentistry discussing every dental specialty from an esthetic viewpoint. It presents all the information needed for dentists to both understand and treat their patients who need or desire to improve their smile and facial appearance. It offers a multidisciplinary approach across the treatment spectrum from diagnosis, treatment planning, treatment procedures, materials and current technology and maintenance.
In this 3rd edition, Goldstein is joined by three new coeditors, Stephen Chu, Ernesto Lee and Christian Stappert who are internationally respected in the field of esthetic dentistry. They have meticulously peer reviewed every chapter. Over 80 authors bring new perspectives and expertise from various dental schools and practices across the United States, Canada and Europe.
