This text offers a review of basic and applied principles of dental
materials and an update on current dental products, for predoctoral and
graduate students, dental practitioners, dental hygienists, and dental
technicians. In keeping with the previous edition, this fourth edition
stresses basic principles and limits coverage of historic techniques and
materials. There is updated material on color and appearance, surface
phenomena and adhesion to tooth structure, polymeric restorative
materials, dental amalgams, dental porcelains, orthodontic wire, and
implant and bone augmentation materials. Numerous b&w clinical
photos and photos of equipment are included, along with b&w
microimages. Learning features include chapter glossaries and discussion
and study questions. O'Brien is director of the Dental Materials
Laboratory at the School of Dentistry, University of Michigan.
