Adhesion Aspects in Dentistry

Modern adhesive dentistry has numerous applications in cariology, as well as in aesthetic and pediatric dentistry, prosthodontics, implantology, and orthodontics?in essence, in comprehensive dental care. This unique book addresses various ramifications of adhesion and adhesives in the broad domain of dentistry. The topics covered include testing aspects of dental materials, dentin bonding, restorations, and adhesion promotion. This book reflects the cumulative wisdom of many world-renowned researchers and provides a useful reference to anyone involved in the various aspects of dentistry.
