The Art of Passion: a photographic journey Dr. Edward McLaren

In Dr. McLaren's words:
This book, “the Art of Passion: a photographic journey... teeth, ceramics, faces, and places”, represents several years of study, trial and error, and countless thousands of images both of film and digital in an attempt to discover the color characteristics, form, texture, and luster of natural teeth. The purpose of this study was to learn the optical behavior of teeth, and more importantly how to take this information and use artificial materials to create natural tooth optics in a dental ceramic restoration. The passion for teeth, the fascination of interplay of light, and the love of photography created an interesting side benefit. It caused me to see people and the world around me very differently. It led me to look for unique perspectives and expressiveness. It made observing what most people would see ordinary or mundane more interesting because I am always looking for a new way to “see” and capture it in a image. I try to give the viewer some of those fascinating experiences. Also, I cover the ceramic technique developed called “The Skeleton Build-Up Technique” as I want you to share the knowledge gained from this study. I hope you enjoy it and it helps inspire you on your life’s journeys as it has been a fun journey for me that still continues.

  The Hidden Fracture and Caries Picture Book Dr. Martin B. Goldstein

This collection of high-resolution photographs presents close-up views of old alloy restorations, followed by photographs revealing what the dentist discovered after the restorations were removed. According to the author and lecturer, Dr. Martin Goldstein, aging Baby-Boomers often present with entire quadrants of old alloy restorations that are beginning to break down. Some patients have difficulty understanding why a dentist would recommend replacement of a non-sensitive restoration. To help address this communication problem, he assembled this photo-presentation that graphically shows how subtle signs around old restorations may be the precursor of serious problems.

The presentation includes examples of "hidden" caries that can lurk under an amalgam, as well as a wide variety of coronal fractures. They allow the dentist to explain the difference between fractures that can be treated with a simple bonded restoration and those that require a crown or even extraction. The typical result of frequent usage of this guide is an increase in restorative activity on the part of the dentist.

Esthetic Dentistry/Smile Design - A Patient’s Guide Dr. Elliot Mechanic

Esthetic Dentistry/Smile Design - A Patient’s Guide is a high quality guide to be used as both a presentation (coffee table) book for your reception area and as a chairside tool for yourself and your dental team to convey to the patient the possibilities of what esthetic dentistry can do for them. The guide is really two books in one:

- Esthetic Dentistry shows before and after pictures in a logical sequence demonstrating the possibilities of esthetic dentistry.

- Smile Design shows your patient how you, their esthetic dentist, can change their facial form and enhance or hide various facial traits by manipulation of tooth position and shape.

The book has been formulated to be used as two books in one and when left on a table in your reception area always appears to be facing upwards with the Esthetic Dentistry Guide on one side and the Smile Design Guide on the other side.

Esthetic Dentistry shows before and after pictures in a logical sequence demonstrating the possibilities of esthetic dentistry. Various scenarios are presented and your patient can usually relate and placed themselves in one of them. The language is simple, short, to the point, and designed for reception area browsing. Interspersed amongst the cases are pages resembling fashion advertisements with a call to action asking the patient to ask you, the artist, how you can help them.

Smile Design shows your patient how you, their esthetic dentist, can change their facial form and enhance or hide various facial traits by manipulation of tooth position, shape, etc… The concept of conveying personality through tooth shape is introduced. Did they ever think that esthetic dentistry could possibly change their lives? What can you, their dentist, do to help them?

The Esthetic Dentistry/Smile Design - A Patient’s Guide is now available in seven languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, French and Romanian.
