Description: Accomplishing exquisite anterior restorative results is a combination of preparation technique and materials selections. This course will present an approach to plan margin placement and tooth reduction to accomplish the proposed tooth position, contour and color of the new restoration, as well as assuring functional success. It is challenging to select from one of the many choices of esthetic restorative materials that are available.
