Description

Nanomaterials in Dental Medicine brings together research on how materials engineered at the nanoscale are being used in dentistry. This 1st Edition, edited by Sabu Thomas and R. M. Baiju, was published by Springer on April 4, 2023 in the Materials Horizons: From Nature to Nanomaterials series, with a print length of 272 pages. The publisher describes a book that presents varied clinical applications of nanomaterials in dentistry, ranging from diagnostics to therapeutics, making it a useful overview for readers entering this research field.

Who Nanomaterials in Dental Medicine is for

• Postgraduate dental students preparing a dissertation or seminar on dental biomaterials.
• Researchers in nanotechnology and biomaterials looking for the dental applications of their field.
• Academic dentists who teach dental materials and want an overview of emerging nanoscale approaches.
• Clinicians interested in research who want to understand the science behind newer materials described in the literature.

This is a research-oriented book from a materials science series, not a clinical procedures manual. Readers who need the fundamentals of dental materials first should start with Clinical Aspects of Dental Materials.

Scope of the book

The focus is the clinical application of nanomaterials across dentistry. In the publisher’s words, these applications range from diagnostics to therapeutics, so the book looks at nanomaterials both as tools to detect disease and as part of treatment.

Because it is an edited volume in the Materials Horizons series, you can expect a research-based treatment of the subject. To see which dental fields and materials are covered in detail, open the online FlipBook preview on this page and read the table of contents.

About this edition

This page offers the 1st Edition of Nanomaterials in Dental Medicine, published by Springer in 2023 (ISBN-13 9789811987175). Nanomaterials research is a fast-moving field, so treat the book as a structured starting point and complement it with recent journal articles, especially for a thesis or a grant application.

Using the book for research and teaching

1. Start with the chapter closest to your question. An edited volume does not need to be read in order; pick the application you are studying.
2. Build a reference trail. Collect the key citations from each chapter and use them to seed your own literature search.
3. Separate evidence levels. Note whether findings come from laboratory, animal or clinical studies before drawing conclusions for practice. Promising laboratory results do not automatically translate into approved clinical products.

Format, preview and access

Research volumes with detailed figures read best in their original layout; compare formats in PDF vs EPUB for medical textbooks.
