| |
| The 11th edition of this leading reference is an outstanding, scientifically based source of information in the field of dental materials science. It presents up-to-date information on materials that are used in the dental office and laboratory every day, emphasizing practical, clinical use, as well as the physical, chemical, and biological properties of materials. Extensive new clinical photographs in this edition illustrate the topics, and color plates are integrated close to related concepts as they're discussed in each chapter. A new glossary of key terms found at the beginning of every chapter defines terms in the appropriate context of the chapter's discussion. Also in this edition, critical thinking questions throughout the book stimulate the readers' curiosity on specific topics, test their existing knowledge, and heighten their awareness of important or controversial subjects. |

| Dental Materials Text, February 6, 2009 |
|
This book covers the basic material science of most commonly-used dental materials. It is generally easy to read and understand and is as current as any text dedicated to the subject. Most of the properties which govern the performance of dental biological materials are presented in a manner which should be understood by dental students and dentists. Since manipulation of materials ranges from 50 to 90 per cent of what dentists spend their work time doing, a book like this should be part of their reference library. This book serves that purpose well. The editors are well-known experts in their respective fields and have chosen keen contributions from competent and established investigators to effectively discuss and elucidate all areas covered by this textbook. As a former faculty member, who taught in dental schools and carried out research programs, and now a general dental practitioner who still participates in material science research, I highly recommend this book.

 Good start and perfect for undergraduates, September 11, 2007 |
|
I found this book good for gaining a general knowledge on dental materials. There really isn't anything else around that is better. It is lacking in specific formulations and leaves out a few areas of dentistry - particularly endodontics and endodontic medicaments. Cavit, Ledermix etc are just not discussed. Light cured special tray resins are not covered in much detail although I would have to say that in general this book is good.
If you are an undergraduate then this book is definitely worth buying. If you are a dentist who believes the brochures put out by dental manufacturers then I think this book is a must so that a general understanding of assessing dental materials is gained. Overall I would have to give this book four stars.

| Understanding Dental Materials, September 25, 2002 |
|
This book should be required reading for every freshman and junior in dental school. Although the text can be very technical, digesting the contents of this book enhances the dental clinician to intelligently evaluate all new materials from a scientific standpoint and not from the manufacturer's claims.

| For Engineers Not Dentists, March 31, 2000 |
|
The latest edition of the this time-honored dental undergraduate text is a bit too technical. This book contains a lot more specific information than a dental practitioner needs but is a good reference for teachers and researchers. The topics are organized by material types and properties rather than by their dental applications. There is an underlying feeling of bias, and the focus is on academic definitions and theoretical mechanisms rather than knowledge that can be easily applied in the clinic.
