Applied Dental Materials [Paperback]

Overall, this is an excellent soft cover book. The authors aim it mainly at the undergraduate, but I agree that it is a useful reference source for the practising dentist.

It is appreciated by students and teachers for its direct uncluttered advice...An excellent undergraduate textbook...well-illustrated, concise and clear.

All aspects of materials science relevant to the practice of dentistry are covered in this textbook. It is aimed primarily at undergraduate dental students, although parts will be useful for practising dentists, dental technicians and dental surgery assistants. The new edition has been extensively revised to include the many advances in dental materials that have occurred during the past eight years, and includes new chapters on glass–ionomers and resin–modified glass–ionomers. The sections on dental adhesives and ceramics in particular have been expanded significantly. In addition, the scope has been widened to cover the clinical handling of materials.

* Covers the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery and incorporates teh syllabus in oral surgery for most British and Commonwealth Dental Schools
* Concentrates on the principles of management
* Previously unavailable for more than three years, now revised and updated to satisfy demand from schools of dentistry
