Overview
Biomaterials are the substances that are produced to interact with biological systems for a medical purpose. It is used in therapeutic and diagnostic medical purposes. Biomaterials are derived from nature as well as synthesized in the laboratory using various chemical methods such as utilizing metallic components, polymers, ceramics or composite materials. Biomaterials are majorly used for medical compositions such as dental applications, surgery, and drug delivery. In dentistry, they are mainly utilized for dental implantation. The fabricated biomaterials that are used in dentistry are known as dental biomaterials. Temporary dressing, cement, impression material, lining material, and restorative material are a few examples of dental biomaterials. This book covers in detail some existent theories and innovative concepts revolving around dental biomaterials. This book unravels the recent studies in the field of dental biomaterials. It strives to provide a fair idea about this discipline and to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances in this domain. Researchers and students in this field will be greatly assisted by this book.
