Description

Now published with an accompanying on-line self-assessment module, the latest edition of this highly successful textbook presents the core information required for students of dental material science. Designed specifically for BDS exam and equivalent candidates, this book is also suitable for post-graduate students and practitioners with an interest in the field.

Key Features

      • Characterized by an accessible and friendly style, providing ‘need to know’ information only – perfect for the busy student!

      • Rich with pull-out boxes, tables, line artworks and photographs

      • Helps the reader recall the underlying basis of the subject – essential facts relating to chemical bonding, metals, ceramics and polymers

      • Ideal preparation for clinical practice - equips the reader with the information required to safely assess the potential of new dental materials

      • Explains the terminology used in the description of material behaviour

      • Explores the use of clinical dental materials including resin bonding to enamel and dentine, impression materials, the principles of adhesion as well as issues relating to pulpal protection and the use of post-core endodontic systems

      • Describes the use of laboratory and related dental materials to enable better communication with the laboratory team
