The book has four chapters and clearly describes the technique for layering restorative materials to more accurately recreate the esthetic qualities found in natural teeth while being abundantly illustrated.

After the layer of dentin, he covers it with a layer simulating the dentinoenamel junction( DEJ) followed by the final layer, a thin layer of enamel sealing the tooth for canine lateral and central teeth porcelain restoration. The author presents the proper stratification technique by starting from the alveolar model by Willi Geller; the technique is described in detail throughout an entire chapter. Next, he describes the rehabilitation plan from the extra- and intra- oral photos protocol, wax-up protocol, the interocclusal records in light curing resin and the mockup. The last part is used by the author to describe 11 clinical cases which illustrate his method of restoration, which highlights the ideal case of biomimicry.
