" L’esthétique est une branche de la philosophie qui traite de la nature et
d'une expression de la beauté – et une conception de ce qui est artistiquement valable ou beau. " |

“You will never have a second chance to make a first impression of yourself”.
The need to appear have pushed our society to the research of beauty at any cost and with any mean. In the last decades , the medias have pushed as far as possible the idea of beauty and the ideal beauty. Dentistry has followed this trend, showing more and more aesthetic treatments that are sometimes too aggressive with the only “excuse” of improving a smile.
Starting from the concept that dentistry is, first of all, a branch of medicine, the aim of this lecture is to give some possible options that are much more conservative, following the principle that the first goal is to restore preserving as much as possible sound tissues.
The so called “minimal invasive dentistry” can be extended to ceramics, whenever possible: additional veneers can be, in many cases, the treatment of choice rather than full veneers.
