Overview:

Current issues on how to simplify digital smile design to communicate with the patient and new materials for aesthetic prototypes (mock-ups) is introduced. A simple three-step system (the shade trilogy) is detailed that greatly minimizes remakes because of shade mismatches. New and past adhesives are compared and issues and research with new adhesives are featured. Recorded Live at Townie Meeting 2014!
