The fully revised and updated second edition of “Materials Used in Dentistry” discusses all the relevant topics, properties, and clinical applications of the most common dental materials in simple, concise, and coherent manner. It includes numerous photographs, illustrations, flowcharts, and tables to make the presentation simple and student friendly. Highlights: The ten sections in this book are exhaustive and include sections on “Endodontic Materials” and“Surgicaland Periodontal Materials” which are still considered a unique feature of this book. Two frequently used and fast-emerging material science topics—Biomaterials, highlighting the use of recent techniques like tissue engineering and nanotechnology, and Indirect Composite Resins that are allocated separate chapters—have been reviewed extensively. A new chapter on calcium silicate–based cements that describes MTA and MTA-based biomaterials is the highlight of this edition. Features: • Conceptual clinical situations are supported by appropriate, high-resolution photographs. • Recent advances and additional information have been added and partly highlighted in boxes. • All tables given in this book are important as PG entrance examinations' study material. • Key points in connection with multiple-choice questions asked in various competitive entrance examinations such as AIPG, AIIMS, and NEET are emphasized in the form of highlighted words in the text. • For self-assessment, probable questions are given at the end of each chapter. • Material manipulation videos are included to enable better understanding of manipulation procedures. This book, with its illustrated discussion on an array of dental materials used across specialties and with contributions from experienced academicians as well as clinicians, will serve as an ideal textbook for BDS students. Postgraduates and practitioners would also find this book as an authentic ready reference resource.
