Riassunto

This comprehensive exploration of restorative dental materials presents everything readers need to know to correctly use dental materials in the clinic and dental laboratory, from fundamental concepts to advanced skills. The scientific basis for technical procedures and manipulation of materials is provided, and the book's problem-solving approach focuses on applying new information to practical situations. At the end of each chapter, a case-based scenario presents the opportunity to work through problems and verify solutions. Extensive figures and tables of data throughout the book clarify the text.

• Problems and Solutions at the end of each chapter test your ability to apply chapter concepts to solve common clinical challenges.
• Mind Maps on the companion Evolve website condense essential chapter content into single-page overviews ideal for quick reference, study outlines, or comprehensive reviews.
• Comprehensive coverage reflects fundamental concepts and the latest practical knowledge all in one authoritative source.
• Appendix of useful resource materials provides quick, convenient access to Weights and Measurements, Conversion Tables, and Comparative Table of Troy, Avoirdupois, and Metric Weights.

• Content updates and links on Evolve keep you current with the latest developments in the field.

• NEW! Full-color design and illustrations clarify clinical detail for greater understanding.
• NEW! Reorganized content emphasizes scientific evidence and is organized by usage in a clinical setting to help you study more efficiently.
• NEW! Digital Imaging and Processing for Restorations chapter equips you with essential understanding of current imaging practices.

• NEW! Major revisions reflect the latest advances in the use of enamel, dental, biofilms, mechanical testing, ceramics, polymers, and composites.
