7Preface
The dental materials science is a combination of science of biology, chemistry and physics. Dental materials science is advancing day by day with the research and development of new materials and technology. Though many materials have been in use, new materials are being developed giving more importance to long-lasting service and esthetics. In addition, attention towards the biological compatibility of the materials locally or systematically is being extensively investigated. The performance of dental materials in the oral environment is one of the factors influencing the quality of dental treatment. Therefore, knowledge of chemical makeup, properties and handling of the materials is a must for the dental practitioner in order to obtain optimum results.
This book is divided into basic dental materials science, laboratory and clinical dental materials and detailed information about each material has been provided along with the figures wherever necessary. This book also gives the information about the modifications, developments and recent advances in dental materials.
: Basic Dental Materials Science: This section describes the relationship between the structure and the properties of materials. Also, explains why different materials exhibit different properties in relation to their clinical usage.
: Clinical Dental Materials: The materials used in dental operatory are discussed in this section. The composition, chemistry, handling characteristics, and properties appropriate to clinical use are discussed. Modifications and recent advances are also discussed.
: Laboratory Dental Materials: The materials used by the dental technicians to construct prosthesis are discussed in this section.
This book is drafted with a simple language aiming at the undergraduate dental students to understand the subject easily and at the same time the intricate details on the recent advances will be useful for the postgraduate students.
