Dental Biomaterials
This approach provides sound advice
for dentists charged with the difficult task of distinguishing
between the plethora of materials available. It is also broad in
scope, providing basic information on polymers, metals and ceramics,
including new product categories such as flowable composites,
resin-modified glass ionomers and compomers, as well as providing an
insight into the highly confusing area of dental bonding systems. It
includes a review of contemporary materials and conservative
restorative options, and in doing so addresses materials used in
virtually every dental discipline, including endodontics,
periodontics, prosthodontics, orthodontics and pediatric dentistry.
Of particular note is the attention given to esthetic restorative
materials and properties.
