Applied Dental Materials

This textbook covers all aspects of materials science relevant to
the practice of dentistry. It is aimed primarily at undergraduate
dental students, although it will also be useful for practising
dentists, dental technicians and dental assistants.

The 9th edition has been extensively revised to include the many
advances in dental materials and their use that have occurred
during the past nine years. The chapters on Resin-based filling
materials and Adhesive restorative materials have been expanded
significantly with new coverage of fibre reinforcement of composite
structures and polymerisable luting agents. A brand new chapter has
been added on endodontic materials.
