Dental Biomaterials, Hardback Book

Hardback

Description

The contents of this book touch on the all major dental biomaterials: polymers, composites, ceramics and metals.

The first part introduces the readers to the surface physicochemical and mechanical characterizations at the nanoscopic level, and the use of finite element analysis.

The second part discusses dental adhesion, resin-based composites, polymerization contraction stress, impression materials and soft liners for total prosthesis.

The third part deals with ceramics in restorative dentistry: zirconia and lithium disilicate, the fractography of dental ceramics, as well as bioglass for bone growth.

The fourth part discusses the toxicity of mercury in dentistry, and the use of preventive materials for dental diseases.

The concluding part identifies imminent techniques for dental biomaterials, such as additive manufacturing (3D printing), and bioprinting in dentistry.
