Phillips' Science of Dental Materials (11th
Edition)
Key Features
- Content outlines at the beginning of each chapter provide a quick
reference for specific topics.
- The roles played by key organizations in ensuring the safety and efficacy
of dental materials and devices are described – such as the American Dental
Association, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the International
Organization for Standardization, and the Fédération Dentaire Internationale.
- Up-to-date Selected Readings are presented at the end of each chapter to
direct readers to supplemental literature on each topic.
- Numerous boxes and tables throughout summarize and illustrate key concepts
and compare characteristics and properties of various dental materials.
- Distinguished contributors lend their credibility and experience to the
text.
New to this Edition
- Content has been completely updated to include information on the most
current dental materials available.
- Glossaries at the beginning of each chapter define key terms used within
the context of that chapter.
- Revised artwork gives this edition a fresh look, with high-quality
illustrations and clinical photos to aid in the visualization of materials and
procedures described.
- Reorganization and consolidation of chapters into four major book parts
presents the material in a more efficient way: Part I describes the principles
of materials science that control the performance of dental materials in
dental laboratories, research laboratories, student dental clinics, public
health clinics, and private practice clinics. Part II focuses on impression
materials, gypsum products, dental waxes, casting investments and procedures,
and finishing and polishing abrasives and procedures.
- Part III provides an updated scientific and applied description of the
composition, manipulation principles, properties, and clinical performance of
bonded restorations, restorative resins, dental cements, dental amalgams, and
direct-filling golds.
- Part IV presents a basic and applied description of materials that are
processed in a laboratory or dental clinic.
- Critical thinking questions appear in every chapter to stimulate thinking
and classroom discussion.
- The overall design has been improved to provide a more visually appealing
format.

Understanding Dental Materials, September 24, 2002

Reviewer: Chester
from troy, mi United States |
This book should be required reading for every freshman and junior in
dental school. Although the text can be very technical, digesting the
contents of this book enhances the dental clinician to intelligently
evaluate all new materials from a scientific standpoint and not from the
manufacturer's claims. --This text refers to the 10th
edition, an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
For Engineers Not Dentists, March 31, 2000

Reviewer: A reader
from Texas |
The latest edition of the this time-honored dental undergraduate text is
a bit too technical. This book contains a lot more specific information than
a dental practitioner needs but is a good reference for teachers and
researchers. The topics are organized by material types and properties
rather than by their dental applications. There is an underlying feeling of
bias, and the focus is on academic definitions and theoretical mechanisms
rather than knowledge that can be easily applied in the clinic.
