Clinical Aspects of Dental Materials: Theory Practice and Cases by Marcia Gladwin and Michael Bagby. This book is written by a dental hygiene educator and biomaterials scientist, the fully updated Second Edition of this unique text examines the clinical aspects of dental materials and materials science--including the composition of dental materials and their proper use and handling in laboratory and clinical applications. The clearly organized text is presented in outline format with numerous illustrations, radiographs, and procedural techniques.For this edition, board review questions have been added to the end of each chapter to facilitate self-paced learning. Readers will also find new learning activities, more definitions for key terms, and new laboratory and clinical evaluation competency criteria.
Feactures include:
- Perforated, tear-out skill performance evaluations (which list the essential criteria for the procedures presented in part two) measure student competency.
- Review questions in RDH board exam format (combination of multiple choice & case-based) included with each chapter in part 1, as well as Learning Activities and Summaries. Answers located in Appendix 1.
- 5 new chapters added to part two (Rubber Dam Application, Debonding Orthodontic Resins, Periodontal Dressings, Suture Removal, and Temporary Restorations) present more skills for dental hygiene practice.
This book is written for dental hygiene students, but it would also make an excellent undergraduate dental text. It is organized by dental application and includes laboratory exercises at the end. The format is affordable soft cover and two-column outline text with well-chosen black and white figures. This book is less technical than Phillips' (Skinner's) Science of Dental Materials.
