Clinical Guide to Principles of Fiber-Reinforced Composites in Dentistry (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Vallittu, Pekka; Özcan, Mutlu

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Traditional dental materials such as metals and ceramics have a number of disadvantages such as cost and the significant damage caused in grinding to make space for such reconstructions. Fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs) are a novel group of dental materials characterized by fibrous fillers that are being increasingly used in place of traditional prosthodontic materials. They allow fabrication of minimally invasive, lightweight, durable and biocompatible restorations. This book will provide clinicians and students with theoretical and clinical guidelines to use the FRCs for dental applications.

The book begins with an introduction to the fundamentals of FRCs in dentistry. Further chapters cover the treatment possibilities, fabrication and application procedures of FRCs, followed by information on care and maintenance.

• Explores the mechanism of function of fibre-reinforced composites
• Presents comprehensive information on the expanding field of fibre-reinforced composites and their increasing use in dentistry

Autorenporträt

Pekka Vallittu has earned his degrees in Dental Technology in 1988, Doctor of Dental Surgery and Doctor of Philosophy in 1994; he received Adjunct Professorship in 1995, specializing in prosthodontics and stomatognathic physiology (European Prosthodontic Association Recognized Prosthodontist) in 2000. Presently, he is a Full Professor and Chair of Biomaterials Science in the Faculty of Medicine, University of Turku, Finland and works as the Director of Turku Clinical Biomaterials Centre (http:// www.biomaterials.utu.fi). He holds Honorary Professorship at the University of Hong Kong, Pokfulam and Visiting Professorship at the King Saud University in Riayadh, Saudi Arabia. His predominating research activity on fiber-reinforced composites started from his hobby of model aircarfts and has lasted over 30 years since the early 1980´s. The first clinical application of fiber reinforced composites was found in clinica dentistry and thereafter in combination with bioactive components in

bone surgical applications as nonmetallic bioactive implants. He has more than 430 ISI Web of Science Index original publications and over 160 internationally granted patents. He has been awarded e.g. by the Distinguished Scientist Award in Prosthodontics and Implant Research by the Internationational Association of Dental Research (IADR) and Bensow-Äyräpää Prize. He is founder of Stick Tech Ltd and Skulle Implants Corporation.
