Description
Dental Materials: Clinical Applications for Dental Assistants and Dental Hygienists is a practical textbook on the materials the dental team prepares, handles and places every day. This 4th Edition is written by W. Stephan Eakle and Kimberly G. Bastin and was published by Saunders on June 9, 2020, in 512 pages. The publisher emphasises how knowledge of dental materials fits into day-to-day clinical practice, presented in a hands-on way with clinically focused content.
Dental Materials: Clinical Applications: who it is for
- Dental assisting students learning to prepare and manipulate materials chairside and in the laboratory.
- Dental hygiene students taking a dental materials course as part of their curriculum.
- Working assistants and hygienists who want to understand the reasons behind manufacturers’ handling instructions.
- Instructors of materials courses in assisting and hygiene programs.
As the title states, the book is written for assistants and hygienists rather than for dental students or researchers. If you need a deeper scientific treatment of metals, look at Advanced Dental Metallic Materials instead.
Content and approach
According to the publisher, Dental Materials: Clinical Applications is clinically focused and liberally supplemented with high-quality photographs and case applications. In practice, that means you study each material in relation to the procedures in which it is used, with images that show what correct handling looks like.
The book covers the dental materials an assistant or hygienist meets in clinical practice. For the exact list of chapters and the way procedures are presented, use the online FlipBook preview on this page before buying.
About the 4th Edition
This page offers the 4th Edition of Dental Materials: Clinical Applications for Dental Assistants and Dental Hygienists, published by Saunders in 2020 (ISBN-13 9780323596589). Products and techniques in dental materials change over time, and programs specify the edition they teach from. Confirm with your instructor that the 4th Edition is the one on your reading list.
How to learn dental materials efficiently
- Study one material per session. Rather than reading Dental Materials: Clinical Applications from cover to cover, focus on a single material at a time. Note its uses, how it is mixed or dispensed, working and setting characteristics, and common handling errors.
- Use the photographs as a checklist. Before a lab or clinic session, review the images for the material you will use so you know what the correct result looks like.
- Apply each chapter to a case. Work through the case applications and explain your choice of material aloud, as you would to a supervising dentist.
