Originally I borrowed this book from the university library, thought that I may possibly read it and return it. After spending several evenings reading and reviewing the concepts and diagrams in book, I resolute to buy it, deciding that it would make a wonderful addition to my dental library. I was a small bit worried about buying a book that was written over 7 years ago, but many of the concepts and techniques that Dr. Magne discusses still hold right.
The book is divided into 9 chapters:
Chapter 1 – Understanding the intact tooth and the biomimetic principle.
Chapter 2 – Natural Oral Esthetics
Chapter 3 – Ultraconservative Treatment Options
Chapter 4 – Evolution of Indications for Fore Bonded Porcelain Restorations
Chapter 5 – Initial Treatment Plotting and Diagnostic Approach
Chapter 6 – Tooth Preparation, Impression and Provisionalization
Chapter 7 – Laboratory Procedures
Chapter 8 – Try-In and Glue Luting Procedures
Chapter 9 – Maintenance and Repairs
The book stresses the biomimetic approach, which I reckon is more of the swiss school of dentistry. (Making the teeth look realistic and polychromatic.)
The photos in the book are well taken, something to aspire towards. The book is also part of the not compulsory readings from the American Association of Ornamental Dentists (AACD). (It also comes in a laminated box, something I didn’t guess, but is a nice to have.)

I bought this book because I am interested in esthetic dentistry. The pictures are incredible and its well written and simple to read. The fact that his thoughts are backed by research makes it all the more worthwhile. I would consider using the book to show patients the photographs if they have a similar case. Just need to find a lab tech who can yield what Dr. Magne’s tech does! Team this book with Dawson’s Functional Occlusion and you’ll be doing long lasting gorgeous dentistry.

The author takes an revolutionary approach to restoring fore teeth, a Biomimetic approach. The author goes back to basics and studies nature i.e. the form and function of natural teeth. He then studies how each tissue (dentine/enamel) behaves mechanically (when biased) and where the forces and stresses concentrate. These findings then lay the foundation as to how teeth should be restored i.e. should they be restored so they are as strong as nature (mimic natures strength) or stronger. The author tends to favour the former approach, and goes about outlining materials and design principles that will achieve this result. He presents an extremely fascinating method and commonsense approach to restoring teeth. By reading this book, it allows us to reflect upon the potential disasters (verticle root breaks, decorination) that may be caused by restoring teeth in the habitual way (crowns & posts) whereby making them stronger than nature.

This book is a must have if you delight in doing bonded porcelain restorations and you want to see how a master does it. The lab work is unbelievable and the photography is brilliant. Its like having an Ansel Adams book: you have to see how the best do it so that you have something to aspire to.
The cost is pretty high, but so what. You will want to take notes when you read this. If you are really flush with cash, buy one for your lab tech.
