Description

Advanced Dental Metallic Materials is a compact scientific monograph on the metals and alloys used in dentistry. Written by Rebeka Rudolf, Peter Majerič, Vojkan Lazić and Karlo T. Raić, it was published by Springer on February 20, 2025 as part of the Springer Series in Materials Science, with a print length of 192 pages. The publisher describes it as a broad yet concise look at advanced metallic materials for dental applications, which makes it a bridge between materials engineering and clinical dentistry.

Who Advanced Dental Metallic Materials is for

• Postgraduate dental students in prosthodontics, implantology or dental materials who need a scientific rather than purely clinical treatment of metals.
• Researchers and PhD candidates in materials science or biomedical engineering working on dental applications.
• Dental technicians and laboratory specialists who want to understand the materials behind the restorations they produce.
• Clinicians with an interest in research who read the dental materials literature and want solid background before appraising studies.

This is a specialist title from a materials science series. If you need an undergraduate introduction to all classes of dental materials first, start with Clinical Aspects of Dental Materials and come back to this monograph for depth on metals.

Scope of the book

As the title states, the focus is on metallic materials and their use in dental applications, treated from the perspective of materials science. Expect a research-oriented text rather than a step-by-step clinical manual: the book sits in a series aimed at scientists and engineers, and its short length means each topic is presented concisely.

About this edition

This page offers the edition of Advanced Dental Metallic Materials published by Springer in February 2025 (ISBN-13 9783031473531). Because it is a recent publication, it is a reasonable starting point for anyone reviewing the topic today. Dental materials research moves quickly, however, so pair the book with recent journal articles when you write a thesis or a literature review.

How to get the most from a research monograph

1. Read with a question in mind. Decide what you need to know (for example, how a material behaves in the oral environment) and go straight to the relevant chapter.
2. Follow the references. Monographs in this series cite primary research; use those citations as the starting point of your own search.
3. Keep structured notes. Summarise each material’s properties, processing and clinical relevance in one table you can reuse in presentations. Our guide on how to write a literature review shows how to organise this work.

To find the latest studies on dental alloys and metallic biomaterials, search PubMed alongside your reading of Advanced Dental Metallic Materials.

Format, preview and access

Technical books full of figures and formulas read best in a fixed layout; our comparison of PDF vs EPUB for medical textbooks explains why.
