List of Cases and Treating Clinicians
The cases in this book are presented continuously from chapter to chapter, with each chapter focusing on a specific aspect of the restorative treatment sequence. Therefore, a given case may leave off in one chapter and pick up again in the following chapter or a few chapters later to illustrate a later stage of treatment. Each case is identified with a uniquely colored, lettered icon to help the reader follow along. Each case presentation is labeled with this icon, and the corresponding icon appears in the margins of the text to indicate when the case is referenced.
