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. The Hidden Fracture and Caries Picture Book...........................$40.00 |
