Introduction to Dental Materials

Comments about the 3rd edition

This third edition provides a foundation for understanding basic materials science principles and their relationship with dental materials in the clinical setting. The book is suitable for undergraduate students and to facilitate those with an interest in furthering their dental materials science knowledge. The book features a thorough coverage of direct and indirect materials used by dentists in clinical practice. The constituents of each material, setting reactions and key properties of materials that ultimately affect clinical performance are described in a concise and coherent manner. In summary, this book provides a useful tool in understanding basic material science principles and how these might relate to the clinical setting, which is critical in providing a deeper understanding of such an important topic.

The three sections of this book addressing the basic sciences, clinical and laboratory aspects of dental materials provide comprehensive coverage of the subject for the dental student.

We recommend this book to undergraduate dental students who, when starting out, know nothing at all about dental materials. Unlike some other dental material books, which put students 'off', this book is quite 'user friendly' and gives young dental students confidence in their first or second year of study.

The book is easy to read and very well-written - this has rendered it internationally popular especially with readers whose their mother language is not English.
