The contemporary restorative dentist has a host of options with which to help his or her patients. Many of these options are considerably less invasive than many of our conventional restorative therapies. This presentation will analyze both successful and failed cases to delineate the procedures essential for success with conventional and contemporary adhesive restorative dentistry.
