Οι κλινικοί (οδοντογιατροί, οδοντοτεχνήτες, ψηφιακοί σχεδιαστές) οι εμπλεκόμενοι στην ανακατασκευή των δοντιών βιώνουν σύγχιση κατα επιλογή και σχεδίαση των οδοντικών μορφών. Συνήθως κατασκευάζουν τυχαίες μορφές και σχήματα δοντιών χωρίς μορφική ενότητα ή στην καλλίτερη περίπτωση μία και μοναδική επαναλαμβανόμενη μορφή για όλα τα πρόσωπα και τις οδοντικές συνθέσεις χωρίς μορφική ταυτότητα.

Το πόνημα αυτό στόχο έχει να μυήσει τους κλινικούς με τρόπο απλό στην επιλογή της μορφής των δοντιών που θα ταιριάξει σε κάθε άτομο ξεχωριστά. Η θεωρία πάνω στην οποία στηρίζεται η επιλογή των φυσικών οδοντικών μορφών υπαγορεύεται από την εξελικτική πίεση για κατανάλωση συγκεκριμένου είδους τροφής. Αυτή η εξελικτική ανάγκη υπαγόρευσε την ανάπτυξη των λοβών οδοντίνης και κατ΄αντιστοιχία τις μορφές των δοντιών. Τα μονόλοβα δόντια συνυπάρχουν με σαρκοβορα διατροφή, τα τρίλοβα ή πολύλοβα με φυτοφάγα διατροφή και τα δίλοβα δόντια με μικτή διατροφή. Το λοβικό-μορφικό οδοντικό σύστημα αναλύεεται με λογική επαγωγή για να γίνει ένα εύκολο και αξιόπιστο εργαλείο στην επιλογή των οδοντικών μορφοσχημάτων από τον κλινικό. Ξεκλειδώνουν έτσι οι απλές και νομοτελιακές αρχές της φυσιολογικής-λειτουργίας του οδοντοπροσωπικού συμπλέγματος. Τα παραδείγματα με εικόνες και οι κλινικές προτάσεις σε ολα τα επίπεδα της οδοντικής σύνθεσης (φυσική, κοσμητική, αισθητική) αποτελούν ένα ξεμπέρδεμα των κλινικών επιλογών που καλούμαστε ως κλινικοί να κάνουμε καθημερινά.

Προσδοκώ το πόνημα αυτό να βοηθήσει τους κλινικούς, τους εμπλεκόμενους με την οδοντική κατασκευή και ενσωμάτωση, σε μια στοχευμένη επιλογή των μορφοσχήματων μιας φυσικής οδοντικής σύνθεσης ενταγμένης σε μία προσωπική ταυτότητα.

Clinicians (dentists, dental technicians, digital designers) involved in tooth reconstruction experience confusion when selecting and designing dental forms. They usually construct random tooth forms and shapes without morphological unity or, at best, a single, repeating form for all faces and dental compositions without morphological identity. This work aims to introduce clinicians in a simple way to the selection of the tooth form that will suit each individual. The theory on which the selection of natural dental forms is based is dictated by the evolutionary pressure to consume a specific type of food. This evolutionary need dictated the development

of dentin lobes and, accordingly, the forms of teeth. Monolobed teeth coexist with carnivorous diets, trilobed or multilobed with herbivorous diets, and bilobed teeth with mixed diets. The lobular-morphological dental system is analyzed by logical induction to become an easy and reliable tool in the selection of dental morphologies by the clinician. Thus, the simple and normative principles of the physiological functioning of the dental-facial complex are unlocked. The examples with images and the clinical suggestions at all levels of the dental composition (physical, cosmetic, aesthetic) constitute an untangling of the clinical choices that we as clinicians are called to make daily. I expect this work to help clinicians, those involved in dental construction and integration, in a targeted selection of the morphologies of a natural dental composition integrated into a personal identity.

In an age when smile esthetics are more important than ever, many patients are treated with invasive and costly restorative procedures that require tooth reduction and the destruction of perfectly good enamel. Patients receiving “smile makeovers” often do not understand the biologic cost of removing enamel—a beautiful tissue that not even the best biomaterials can truly mimic. Modern ceramics might come close, but only enamel can last forever. The ultimate goal of minimally invasive dentistry is to keep teeth intact for life. This book describes the best minimally invasive procedures for improving smile esthetics while preserving the natural tooth structure. Dive in to learn more about nightguard bleaching, enamel microabrasion, resin infiltration, and no-prep restorations, as well as tips for achieving great rubber dam isolation. Your efforts will be rewarded with beautiful and long-lasting results.

QDT has always served dental technicians with the best of the best work being done in the field. But technical artistry is only half of the equation, which is why QDT 2025 focuses on the whole picture of interdisciplinary dentistry, highlighting how clinician and technician work together to achieve predictable and esthetic outcomes. This year’s issue is stacked with several articles on FP1 prostheses and the digital workflows and procedures required for their planning and delivery, as well as multiple articles on minimally invasive laminate veneers and other topics relevant to daily practice, such as the fabrication of digital complete dentures, shade matching zirconia crowns, and managing the single central incisor. Throughout the issue, the latest technologies and their capabilities are emphasized, truly reflecting this era of digital dentistry while always relying on the foundation of manual skills and artistry, which can never fully be replaced by digital tools. With such a stellar group of contributing authors, this may just be the best issue of QDT yet.

The first edition of this book took the dental world by storm in 2002 and became one of the bestselling Quintessence books of all time, and this edition will no doubt do the same. The book takes the science of esthetic dental reconstruction to a new level, both clinically and academically, and offers all that a clinician could wish for in terms of indications and the classic clinical steps for tooth preparation, laboratory and CAD/CAM procedures, adhesive luting procedures, and maintenance. But above all, what makes this book so unique is the underlying principle by which Pascal Magne lives: respect the natural structure and use that nature as your guide in restoration. The central philosophy of the book is the biomimetic principle—that is, the idea that the intact tooth in its ideal hues and shades, and perhaps more importantly in its intracoronal anatomy and location in the arch, is the guide to reconstruction and the determinant for success. Restoring or mimicking the biomechanical, structural, and esthetic integrity of teeth is paramount. Therefore, the objective of the book is to propose new criteria for esthetic restorative dentistry based on biomimetics. The driving forces of restorative dentistry are maintenance of tooth vitality and maximum conservation of intact hard tissues, and as such the book offers ultraconservative treatment options that can precede a more sophisticated treatment. The core of the book centers on the application of the biomimetic principle in the form of bonded restorations using composite resins and ceramics. The broad spectrum of indications of bonded restorations is described, followed by detailed instruction on the treatment planning and diagnostic approach, which is the first step for every case. The treatment is then described step by step, including tooth preparation and impression, laboratory and CAD/CAM procedures related to the fabrication of composite resin and ceramic workpieces, and their final insertion through adhesive luting procedures. Volume 1 covers the fundamentals and basic procedures, and Volume 2 focuses on advanced clinical techniques, maintenance, and repair of bonded restorations. QR codes throughout link to demonstrations of the techniques and dramatic videos highlighting the artistry of biomimetics. Written by a true master and true artist, this book will undoubtedly inspire excellence in anyone who picks it up.
