Summary:

While most dental materials texts are written from the dentist's perspective, this unique resource is written for dental assistants and hygienists. The primary focus is on dental materials in relation to procedures not conditions. It offers a conceptual approach and assumes no prior understanding of technical vocabulary. Featuring numerous illustrations and separate clinical directions, this is an ideal text for students preparing for board examinations.
