title: Advances in the treatment of acquired and developmental defects of hard dental tissues.
abstract: With the decline in dental caries, the dental profession and the general public have become sensitized to the "new" specialty of cosmetic dentistry. As a consequence, research in the field of dental materials for the ideal, most natural restorative materials and techniques has become a primary focus and has had a profound influence on dental education and practice. This brief article will highlight some of these newer concepts.
