Summary
A review of the biomaterials used dentistry, this book explores their performance and how it can be measured and optimized. The covers optical and electron microscopy imaging techniques for dental biomaterial interfaces and specific materials such as dental cements, fibre-reinforced composites, metals and alloys. It provides an analysis of stresses, fracture, wear and aging in dental biomaterials as well as an evaluation of the performance of dental adhesives and resin-dentin bonds. The book discusses ways of assessing the performance of dental handpieces, crowns, implants and prosthesies and the use of computer models in such areas as bond strength and shape optimisation of dental restorations.
