"The purpose of this book is to make us aware of the importance of the interdisciplinary approach. Surgeons, restorative clinicians, and dental technicians must have a well-established protocol, adapted to the types of cases. This book supports those who want to improve their treatment technique by providing step by step protocols and many clinical cases." (Florin-Eugen, Stomatology EDU Journal, Vol. 7 (1), 2020)
