Dental Biomaterials explores their performance and how it can be measured and optimized.

Dental Biomaterials provides an analysis of stresses, fracture, wear and aging in dental biomaterials as well as an evaluation of the performance of dental adhesives and resin-dentin bonds.

Dental Biomaterials discusses ways of assessing the performance of dental handpieces, crowns, implants and prosthesies and the use of computer models in such areas as bond strength and shape optimisation of dental restorations.
