Dental Materials and Their Selection
( Principles of materials science are closely integrated ...)
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.

Dental Materials and Their Selection
(Fundamental principles of material science are closely in...)
Fundamental principles of material science are closely integrated with everyday dental practice in the newly revised edition of this classic textbook. Written in a practical, straightforward manner with the student practitioner in mind, this book presents the essential knowledge of material structure and properties. A glossary of terms and discussion questions are included with each chapter to help students focus on the concepts they will need as practicing dentists. Promoting problem-based learning through the use of real-life clinical scenarios, the authors show how to apply the framework of material science to restorative treatment plans. This didactic combination will enable students, technicians, and clinicians not only to select appropriate materials for various clinical situations, but to handle them correctly for optimum clinical performance.
