MICROSCOPY IN ESTHETIC-RESTORATIVE TREATMENT—PART 1: MINIMAL INTERVENTION TREATMENT

Abstract

Lately, favorable results are seen in many esthetic cases with minimally invasive techniques. This became possible due to the development of biomimetics, advancement in bonding technique, and treatment using the problem-based approach. In addition, the use of microscope has allowed us to obtain precise and predictable outcomes. Using my clinical cases, the use and effectiveness of the microscope in direct composite, porcelain bonded restorations and crown restoration in esthetic dentistry will be discussed.
