Introduction to Dental Biomaterials

The contents of this book touch on all major dental biomaterials: polymers, composites, ceramics, and metals. The first part introduces the readers to the surface physicochemical and mechanical characterizations at the nanoscopic level, and the use of finite element analysis.

Dental Adhesion and Composites

The second part discusses dental adhesion, resin-based composites, polymerization contraction stress, impression materials, and soft liners for total prosthesis.

Restorative Ceramics

The third part deals with ceramics in restorative dentistry: zirconia and lithium disilicate, the fractography of dental ceramics, as well as bioglass for bone growth.

Toxicity and Preventive Materials

The fourth part discusses the toxicity of mercury in dentistry, and the use of preventive materials for dental diseases.

Future Techniques in Dental Biomaterials

The concluding part identifies imminent techniques for dental biomaterials, such as additive manufacturing (3D printing), and bioprinting in dentistry.
