Drawing on over two decades of clinical experience in Sicily, Marco breaks down the psychological nuances of real informed consent and how clinicians must take clinical responsibility to remove doubt. He outlines his pragmatic, stepped protocol for treating worn dentition using Smile Cloud, aesthetic mock-ups, and reversible snap-on PMMA "rebalances" to open vertical dimension without irreversible prep work. From the biological imperative of additive injection molding over aggressive crown preps or reflex all-on-x extractions to aligning practice economics with heroic tooth preservation, this conversation is an essential masterclass in practicing sustainable, minimally invasive healthcare.
