Here I subject Douglas Walton’s comprehensive discussion of the linked/convergent distinction found in Argument Structure: A Pragmatic Theory to careful scrutiny and argue ...

The excellent performance of this form of restoration in the masticatory load-bearing posterior region has now been demonstrated in numerous clinical studies. The procedure is usually carried out in an elaborate layering technique. Aside from the possibilities that highly aesthetic composites o...
