Preface
The eleventh, and millennium, edition of Restorative Dental Materials continues to be a textbook designed for undergraduate dental students, and is also an excellent review of basic and applied information about restorative materials for dental practitioners and dental hygienists who are returning for graduate education. This text is also useful for general dental practitioners because it contains important information about recently developed dental materials.
Dr. John M. Powers is a coeditor of the eleventh edition. Dr. Powers earned a Ph.D. in the Dental Materials Department of the University of Michigan, was a faculty member of that department for a number of years, and is currently a professor in the Department of Restorative Dentistry and Biomaterials at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston Dental Branch. He is also a coeditor of me Dental Advisor.
We would like to welcome the following new contributors to the eleventh edition and thank them for their time and effort in improving the information presented: Dr. ~eorR~. eB aran of Temple University, Dr. Stephen C. Bayne of the University of North Carolina, Dr. Joseph B. Dennison of the University of Michigan, Dr. Isabelle L. Denry of the Ohio State University, and Dr. Glen H. Johnson of the University of Washington. We also acknowledge and thank Dr. David H. Kohn and Dr. Andrew Koran 111, both of the University of Michigan, for their continued valuable contributions, and Dr. John C. Wataha of the Medical College of Georgia for his increased contributions to the eleventh edition.
Two new chapters have been added to the eleventh edition: Chapter 8, Preventive Materials, and Chapter 10, Bonding to Dental Substrates. The increased importance of bonding to a variety of surfaces, not only tooth structure, in restorative dentistry has warranted a separate chapter for this topic. The basics of adhesion, the composition of bonding materials, and the application of materials to different surfaces are presented. Likewise, changes in chemotherapeutic agents, pit-and-fissure sealants, glass ionomers, and hybrid ionomers, plus improvements in athletic mouth protectors, justified placing these topics in a chapter entitled Preventive Materials. All chapters have been updated; however, the ones that have undergone major revision are those discussing biocompatibility, dental alloys, casting of metals, composite restorative materials, impression materials, ceramics, metalceramics, and cements.
