About this title:

Use this quick guide to learn the essentials of dental materials!

Dental Materials: A Pocket Guide describes how to recognize, select, and mix the most widely used materials in modern dentistry. Using a flip-book format, it covers each dental material in two pages, with the first page showing photos of the material before and after mixing, and the facing page step-by-step 'mixing and use' instructions. This guide is ideal for on-the-go study or chairside reference.

Hundreds of high-quality photographs help you recognize, identify, and select dental materials, showing materials in three ways: 1) as they appear within manufacturer packaging, 2) as they appear in their unmixed forms, and 3) as they appear at the completion of mixing.

Key features:

• Need-to-know information includes the form in which the dental material is supplied, its composition, the armamentarium for use, and step-by-step directions on how to mix and use the material
• Helpful hints or special considerations highlight specific terms, issues, properties, or clinical uses of the materials
• Convenient, easy-to-follow organization groups chapters into the main categories of materials including restorative materials, impression materials, dental waxes, bonding agents, whitening agents, and others
• The chapter on Equipment Commonly Used to Manipulate Materials sets up a foundation of essential knowledge by describing the equipment needed for work in dental materials
• A chapter on Historical Dental Materials covers older materials that may still have a place within many dental offices
• Quick-reference appendices make it easier to look up metric conversion tables along with photos of commonly used brand-name products for each type of material
