Material-Tissue Interfacial Phenomena

These challenges are magnified at the interface between dissimilar structures such as the tooth/material interface. Interfacial reactions at the atomic, molecular, and nano-scales initiate the failure of materials used to repair, restore, and reconstruct dental and craniofacial tissues.

Understanding the phenomena that lead to failure at the interface between dissimilar structures, such as synthetic materials and biologic tissues, is confounded by a variety of factors that are thoroughly discussed in this comprehensive book

• Provides a specific focus on the oral environment
• Combines clinical views and basic science into a useful reference book
• Presents comprehensive coverage of material-interfacial phenomena within the oral environment
