Dental Materials and Their Selection – 4th edition
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, straight-forward manner, 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 readers focus on the concepts they will need.
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.
