Orthodontic Materials: Scientific and Clinical Aspects
Direct download links available Orthodontic Materials: Scientific and Clinical Aspects [Kindle Edition] for everyone book mediafire, rapishare, and mirror link In this important new textbook all scientific and clinical aspects of orthodontic materials are described.Recent developments in science and technology have led to the introduction of a plethora of new orthodontic products. This work serves as an excellent source of information for a field that requires knowledge of basic elements of materials science, engineering, chemistry, and physics, as well as clinical orthodontics. The subject has been part of graduate orthodontic education for almost three decades. Besides servicing the orthodontic training programs, the book also - investigates the interactions of orthodontic materials with other dental materials as well as hard tissues in the oral cavity,- gives a background to allow for proper material selection for efficient orthodontic mechanics,- treats the issues of biocompatibility, cytotoxicity and mutagenicity of materials.

The field of orthodontic materials is ever evolving, yet many of us in orthodontics do not understand the fundamentals behind the different materials in the archwires and brackets we use.
To utilize our materials to their fullest potential, we need to have a basic understanding of the material properties. This book provides a good explanation, and so much more. It chronicles the development of materials and tries to explain their behaviour on a technical level. While the authors have a section on clinical aspects or clinical application of the materials, it would have been better if this were applied immediately after each technical section. The text and concepts could also have been simplified with simple explanations or diagrams to facilitate understanding, of what would otherwise be an extremely challenging topic to understand.
I have no doubt that the authors are masters of their fields, especially in materials research and engineering, but it would be helpful to simplify or "dumb down" the text a little, especially if it's supposed to cater to the "layman" clinician-orthodontic crowd.
I highly recommend this for orthodontic postgraduate students, and supervisors too, plus any orthodontist who wants to know more about what they are putting into their patients' mouths.
