Dental artistry.
The role of a skilled dentist is to construct and build teeth, not to destroy or tear away; the former approach reduces the possibility of permanent, irreversible damage. However, the profession's way of thinking continues to advocate the method of reduction and replacement, resting on the 100-year-old teaching of the indirect casting technique introduced by Taggart in 1907. This article explores utilizing augmentation rather than reduction, as well as natural principles for designing crowns and bridges based upon tensional integrity.
