Dental Materials and Their Selection

Dental Materials and Their Selection

• Used Book in Good Condition

<p>Principles of materials science are closely integrated with everyday dental practice in this revised textbook. Written in a practical, straightforward manner, it provides a fundamental knowledge of material structure and properties, and real-life clinical examples show how to apply this information to restorative treatments. This didactic combination will enable students, technicians, and clinicians to select appropriate materials for various clinical situations.</p><br><br><br><br><br><b>Contents</b> <br><br><br>Introduction<br><br>1 A Comparison of Metals, Ceramics, and Polymers<br><br>2 Physical Properties and Biocompatibility<br><br>3 Color and Appearance<br><br>4 Gypsum Products<br><br>5 Surface Phenomena and Adhesion to Tooth Structure<br><br>6 Polymers and Polymerization<br><br>7 Impression Materials<br><br>8 Polymeric Restorative Materials<br><br>9 Dental Cements<br><br>10 Abrasion, Polishing, and Bleaching<br><br>11 Structure and Properties of Metals and Alloys<br><br>12 Dental Amalgams<br><br>13 Precious Metal Casting Alloys<br><br>14 Alloys for Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Restorations<br><br>15 Dental Porcelain<br><br>16 Base Metal Casting Alloys<br><br>17 Casting<br><br>18 Soldering, Welding, and Electroplating<br><br>19 High-Temperature Investments<br><br>20 Waxes<br><br>21 Orthodontic Wires<br><br>22 Endodontic Materials<br><br>23 Implant and Bone Augmentation Materials<br><br>Appendix A Tabulated Values of Physical and Mechanical Properties<br><br>Appendix B Biocompatibility Tests<br><br>Appendix C Periodic Chart of the Elements<br><br>Appendix D Units and Conversion Factors<br><br>Appendix E Answers to Study Questions <br><br>Index <br><br><br><br><b>Contributors</b><br><br>Kenzo Asaoka, PhD<br><br>Raymond L.
