The primary objective of Functional Esthetic & Restorative Dentistry is to educate dentists of the proper applications and use of dental materials and new technologies for optimal patient care and clinical results.

 Each thematic issue of this series will focus on a specific type of restoration and demonstrate proven techniques and procedures in a referenced and peer-reviewed format with an emphasis on esthetics, function and minimally invasive dentistry.

Developed as a comprehensive resource, Functional Esthetics & Restorative Dentistry will engage its distinguished editorial board to present case presentations and provide answers to common questions regarding clinical protocols and patient concerns.

The four-part series for 2008 will cover adhesion & bonding, treatment planning & provisionalization, implants, and technologies for esthetic & restorative dentistry.
