Esthetics in Function

The esthetic harmony and effectiveness of occlusal function are integrated and are in constant movement in the search for balance. This book, written by a top expert in the field, is about the preservation and enhancement of smile esthetics. The richly illustrated content aims to enhance the clinician's understanding of the static and dynamic principles that act on a patient's stomatognathic system.
