Orthodontic applications of biomaterials [electronic resource] : a clinical guide / by Theodore Eliades, William A. Brantley
Woodhead Publishing, 2017.


"The present textbook is very different in approach and content from our previous textbook “Orthodontic Materials: Scientific and Clinical Aspects”, which was published in 2001. The style of that book was strongly materials science-oriented, and chapters on impression materials and cements were included that are no longer present. Our current book has been designed to employ language that will be comfortable for both Residents in Orthodontics and practicing clinicians, as well as to provide coverage of orthodontic materials being currently utilized in a manner that will have appeal to clinicians who have been in practice for an extended number of years" From Preface

"This book is an up-to-date statement on occlusion and its implications for contemporary dental practice and prosthodontics. It provides an insight into a new dimension for prosthodontic practice with the introduction of the crucial role of the occlusion of the teeth and mastication for maintenance of cognition and higher-level cognitive skills. This is a new paradigm: one that emphasizes the singular importance of maintaining an occlusion with teeth ideally or through rehabilitation for function and expands the importance of prosthodontics and the general well-being of individuals. The book also stands at the crossroads as dentistry and prosthodontics, having embraced biology as the fundamental construct within which case management is considered as well as the far-reaching implications of the principles of implant dentistry utilizing osseointegration for implant rehabilitation in treatment planning and decision-making, are to be fundamentally transformed within the digital revolution. Industry has progressively introduced computer technology to enhance production, accuracy, precision, and efficiency." From Preface
