Materials Science for Dentistry

Materials Science for Dentistry, 10th Edition, examines the structure and chemistry governing the behavior and performance of materials used in dentistry.

The volume addresses major classes of dental substances, including gypsum, polymers, acrylic, cements, waxes, ceramics, and metals. Chapters also review surfaces, corrosion, mixing, casting, cutting, bonding, and mechanical testing.

Intended for students, researchers, teachers, and clinicians, this edition incorporates a new chapter on chemistry alongside added material on wetting surfaces and temporary restoration resins.
