About this book

An up-to-date and authoritative treatment of the use of ceramics in dentistry

In Ceramics in Dentistry, experienced dental materials consultant, inventor, and researcher, Dr. Carolyn Primus, delivers a comprehensive review of the contemporary and historical uses of ceramics in dentistry. The book is organized by dental treatment and describes the characteristics of ceramic materials that make them useful for the dentist.

The author describes dental composites, crowns, bridges, artificial teeth, implants, model/impression materials, hygiene materials, abrasives, refractories, among other dental-related technologies, as well as their historical evolution, offering a contextually rich explanation of how ceramics are used in dentistry. She also discusses ceramics used in electronic devices for dentistry, including lasers, fiber optics, and other ceramic components in instruments and equipment for dental procedures.

Readers will also find:

A thorough introduction to the basics of oral health and common dental problems
A synopsis of dentistry throughout history, with a focus on 20th and 21st century advancements
Practical discussions of biomaterial basics, US and international regulatory requirements and standards for ceramics in dental/medical devices, plus special characteristics of ceramics needed in dental/medical devices
Descriptions of direct and indirect ceramic restorations of coronal anatomy, endodontics, orthodontics, and other procedures for dental treatments
Insight into what is required behind the scenes in dental laboratories to make durable and esthetic dental veneers, crowns, bridges, and dentures
