Biocompatibility of Dental Biomaterials [Hardcover]

Biocompatibility of Dental Biomaterials details and examines the fundamentals of biocompatibililty, also including strategies to combat it. As biomaterials used in the mouth are subject to different problems than those associated with the general in vivo environment, this book examines these challenges, presenting the latest research and forward-thinking strategies.

• Explores the fundamentals of dental biomaterials and their compatibility
• Presents a thorough review of material specific issues

1. Biocompatibility of dental biomaterials

2. Mechanical biocompatibility of dental materials

3. Biocompatibility of fiber-reinforced composites for dental applications

4. Biocompatibility of biomaterials for dental tissue repair

5. Biocompatibility and functionality of dental restorative materials

6. Biocompatibility of luting cements for dental applications

7. Biocompatibility of dental amalgams

8. Biocompatibility of oral care products

Details and examines the fundamentals of dental biomaterials, problems of biocompatibility, and the latest research and strategies to combat them
