Restorative biomaterials in dentistry are designed to restore the shape and the function of the teeth. Their applicability is related to restorative procedures such as dental restorations, dentures, dental implants and endodontic materials. This book will review the current state of the art for restorative biomaterials as well as discuss the near-future trends in this field. It will examine the biomaterials utilized in restorative dental applications, bonding, composities, cements, and ceramics) and assess the design for these materials and role of nanotechnology.
Restorative biomaterials in dentistry are designed to restore the shape and function of teeth.
