title: Creating aesthetic success through proper clinician and laboratory technical communication.
abstract: High-quality aesthetic restorations that look great, function ideally, and last can only be predictably produced through implementation of excellent communication techniques and systems between the doctor and ceramist. With the availability of technology and the Internet, it is now easy to involve the laboratory via digital photographs. This article challenges one to begin including the laboratory early in the process and routinely use reliable techniques to transfer clinically significant information to the laboratory bench.
