Summary:

For predoctoral dental students, students in graduate programs and residencies, and practicing dentists, Sakaguchi (biomaterials and biomechanics, Oregon Health and Science U.) and Powers (oral biomaterials, U. of Texas Health Science Center at Houston) assemble a group of dentists from the US and Brazil for 16 chapters on selecting dental materials when designing and fabricating restorations. Coverage includes design criteria, the fundamentals of materials science, biocompatibility, classes of materials, impression and casting, dental and orofacial implants, and tissue engineering. This edition has a new full-color design and illustrations, new chapters on digital imaging and processing for restorations and product design and their applications, and revisions to sections on the science of enamel, dentin, biofilms, mechanical testing, ceramics, polymers, and composites. It includes recent developments in dental biomaterials science, new materials for clinical use, and more clinical applications and examples. A companion website provides access to images, mind maps, content updates, and downloads. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
