1st Edition
by Mary Anne Sampaio de Melo (Editor)
Restorative biomaterials in dentistry are designed to restore the
shape and function of teeth. Their applicability is related to
restorative procedures such as dental restorations, dentures, dental
implants, and endodontic materials. Designing Bioactive Polymeric Materials for Restorative Dentistry
reviews the current state of the art for restorative biomaterials and
discusses the near-future trends in this field. The book examines the
biomaterials utilized in restorative dental applications (bonding,
composites, cements, and ceramics) and assesses the design for these
materials and the role of nanotechnology.
All of the contributors are active clinical dentists and researchers in this field.
