Publisher's Synopsis
This text approaches the science of dental materials from the clinician's point of view. It discusses materials in relation to clinical procedure, concentrating on the properties which affect both their handling at the chairside and their subsequent behaviour in service. The first part of the book covers the general properties of dental materials and the second part follows a sequence of clinical procedures, starting with the examination of the patient. The third and fourth parts are crossed referenced sources of proprietary materials, and the appendix provides a list of the major suppliers of dental materials in the UK.
