It will help you understand the properties, limitations and safe usage of different materials, and how to navigate this rapidly changing field to choose the most appropriate materials for your patients.
Written in an engaging and accessible way, and featuring updated images and photographs as well as "clinical relevance" highlights, this book is perfectly tailored to the needs of the busy student of dentistry or dental therapy.
- Written for the benefit of the developing clinician, not the materials scientist perfect for busy students
- Covers essential facts relating to chemical bonding, metals, ceramics and polymers
- Explains the terminology used in the description of material behaviour
- Explores the use of clinical dental materials including the traditional and contemporary materials and associated techniques
- Covers issues relating to pulpal protection and endodontic materials
- Describes the use of laboratory and related dental materials to enable better communication with the laboratory team
- Updated to include dedicated sections on digital dentistry and digital workflows in particular in relation to crown and bridge
- Revised structure adopted to demystify contemporary ceramics
