Phillips Science Of Dental Materials First South Asia Edition by Kenneth J Anusavice,Chiayi Shen,H Ralph Rawls

About the Book: Phillips Science of Dental Materials

This South Asian edition, based on 12th edition of Phillips Science of Dental Materials, while maintaining the current and authoritative nature, has incorporated certain features, which would make it more valuable to students and clinicians in the Indian context.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the composition, biocompatibility, physical properties, mechanical properties, manipulative variables, and performance of direct and indirect restorative materials and auxiliary materials used in dentistry.

Key features

Up-to-date scientific and clinical data on the most advanced restorative materials

Clinical and technical aspects of various materials have been highlighted in special boxes to enable easy reference without having to go through the entire text

Clinical aspects such as manipulation and techniques for cementation and polishing provided in easy to read boxes

Summary has been provided at the end of every chapter in a bulleted format. This provides the chapter at a glance and would be valuable to students just prior to an examination when they would be able to glance over the salient aspects of the chapter

Review Questions related to each chapter culled over from the question papers of different universities over the last 10 years and would be a useful reference for UG students

Glossary provides a list of key terms used in dental materials science
