Nanotechnology in Conservative Dentistry
About This Book
Nanotechnology in Conservative Dentistry provides a detailed review of the use of nanotechnology in conservative dentistry, from diagnosis and restorative materials, through to tissue engineering and regeneration.
This book covers fundamental topics in the field of conservative dentistry, including caries therapy, dentin reconstruction, pulp protection and more; each chapter reviews and discusses how nanotechnology can be implemented as a novel approach to traditional conservative dentistry techniques, exploring the many uses and advantages of this fast-growing technology. Various nanobiomaterials and technologies are covered, as well as assessment of the biocompatibility and toxicological risks of utilizing nanotechnology in dentistry.
Nanotechnology in Conservative Dentistry will help dentists and materials science academics alike, understand the potential of nanotechnology in dentistry, building on and going beyond traditional concepts and techniques in this field.
- Reviews key topics in conservative dentistry, including dentin reconstruction, enamel synthesis, detection of microcavities and more
- Covers a range of nanobiomaterials and nanotechnologies, as well as health and safety aspects of using these in dentistry
- Appeals to a wide readership, including dentists; dental surgeons, academics and students; materials scientists and biomedical engineers with an interest in nanotechnology and dentistry
