New Edition of Esthetics Book!

Posted on January 22, 2013 by Quintessence Posted in Books, Esthetic Dentistry, Restorative Dentistry, What's New

The second edition of Dr Douglas Terry’s Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry: Material Selection and Technique is now available from Quintessence, and Dr Terry shared some thoughts on this new edition:

The first edition of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry: Material Selection and Technique was so well received by restorative dentists, dental technicians, prosthodontists, periodontists, oral surgeons, dental students, and auxiliaries worldwide that it has necessitated a second edition and translation into three languages (Italian, German, and Russian).

This second English edition continues to promote innovative ideas and techniques for using new biomaterials with proven scientific principles and concepts. New cases are featured in each chapter and hundreds of new photographs have been used throughout. Also, acknowledged leaders in dentistry from around the world have reviewed the concepts and materials, and several of these reviewers have even provided cases that showcase brilliant ideas and techniques.

As ever, my goal is to promote the highest level of excellence in dentistry.

—Dr Douglas Terry, DDS

Dr Terry will be coming to Quintessence in February, and we will be asking him to sign books. If you would like a signed copy of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry: Material Selection and Technique, Second Edition, please order using this link before February 4, 2013.
