In QDT 2013, master clinicians present the newest con- cepts, laboratory techniques, and materials used by restor- ative and esthetic dentists and technicians. Focusing particularly on esthetic treatment using advanced ceram- ics, this year s issue covers topics such as pink ceramics, the anatomical shell technique, CAD/CAM, minimally inva- sive esthetic restorations, and opacity control. This year s State of the Art article features the inverse layering technique and Biomaterials Update highlights composite resins. Each original article is beautifully displayed in clas- sic QDT fashion, making this year s issue another great addition to your QDT library.
