Several clinical challenges will be presented to address from conservative to

Objective: 
  1. Creating a balance between soft tissue level and thickness for single unit restorations.
  2. Minimizing mistakes when considering tooth preparation, the choice of ceramic systems, and color matching, in light of currently available materials.
  3. Understanding the importance of color morphology interpretation to achieve optimal appearance in single units with ceramics.
