The tops of teeth don’t matter… as much as the bottoms. The key to any biomimetic restoration is the direct component, which is why I describe biomimetic dentistry as a bottom to top approach. When I first learned of Simone Deliperi’s work and we began working and then teaching together, we both understood how this direct component needed to be carefully managed for a successful restoration. Deliperi’s Stress Reduced Direct Composite technique, which we co-authored a publication on in 2009, is a necessary tool for any dentist who aims for conservative dentistry.
