Understanding Dental Materials
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
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 andresearchers. The topics are organized by material types and propertiesrather than by their dental applications. There is an underlying feeling ofbias, and the focus is on academic definitions and theoretical mechanismsrather than knowledge that can be easily applied in the clinic. ... Read more

Excellent Textbook
This book is written for dental hygiene students, but it would also make an excellent undergraduate dental text. It is organized by dental application and includes laboratory exercises at the end. The format isaffordable soft cover and two-column outline text with well-chosen blackand white figures. This book is less technical than Phillips' (Skinner's)Science of Dental Materials. ...

A Reader-FriendlyReference Book
This book is "reader friendly!"It is excellent as both a reference book and a study tool.The explanations are clear and concise, as are the accomplying graphs, charts and photographs. Each chapter is accompanied by a glossary of terms, discussion questions, study questions and a thorough list of recommended readings. It delves into the biochemical aspects, biocompatability and application of all dental materials. All combine perfectly to enhance ones understanding and comprehension of the topic.The author even offers a historical perspective on older, outdated dental materials as well as the future of dental materials. I like the author's style of writing and his ability to organize themes in a logical manner. After reading this book, you should have no problems of understanding and working with dental materials. (I actuallycame across this book by accident in my dental school's library after being somewhat disappointed by Ferracane's book that I had been using for school.It is a good book too, but it just did not quite reach the depth of explanation required for my test exams.)

the best text on all types of dental inlays and onlays
this book provides excellent information and tips on why and how to do inlays and onlays in both porcelain and composite.The authors compare these type dental restorations to both gold and silver restorations so the consumer can better judge just what he or she wants to have placed into his or her mouth.There are also clear and close up photographs and illustrations showing just how these restorations should be constructed by the dental ceramist.Basically the book is all about choices in posterior dental restorations, and alternatives to silver amalgam restorations.The text is easily understood, and the book is artistically laid outwith simple but complete illustrations that help make learning the techniques much easier.The chapters are written by world experts on the subjects.There is even a chapter on the use of CAD-CAM and the present and future role of this technology in construction of dental restorations ...

Nice Chapter Layouts
This is a great book even if you are not going into a hygiene or assisting program, but have worked in the feild for a while and aren't up to date on what is current.Perhaps the dentist you have worked with for the last 20 years only uses the same old thing and you have forgotten how to use all the other materials that are out there.
