Advanced Dental Biomaterials examines how advanced dental materials can not only replace but more importantly repair existing natural tissues. Dental practitioners are faced with the challenge of restoring teeth to ensure they are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Consequently, materials scientists are moving away from traditional biomaterials in favour of advanced materials which can directly repair and restore teeth. Readers are provided with a thorough review of advanced materials which enable this novel approach to dental repair. The first sections of the book assess the fundamentals of dental materials whilst also looking at restorative materials. Sections 3 and 4 look at endodontic and prostodontic materials respectively. Two further sections examine materials used in the dental laboratory and orthodontic materials, whilst the final section provides a thorough review of materials for dental regeneration and advanced technologies. This book is a valuable resource for scientists and researchers, clinicians, dental students, and all those who wish to broaden their knowledge in the allied field. Provides a comprehensive review of the materials science, engineering principles and recent advances in these important biomaterialsReviews the fundamentals of dental biomaterials as well as examining advanced materials for regenerationInterdisciplinary approach allows readers from a range of backgrounds to easily access information on dental biomaterials and their applications INDICE: Part 1: Fundamentals of Dental Biomaterials 1.
