Dental Composite Materials for Direct RestorationsAuthor(s): Vesna Miletic\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Springer International Publishing AG, Switzerland\nImprint: Springer International Publishing AG\nISBN-13: 9783319609607, 978-3319609607\nSynopsis\nThis book covers both basic scientific and clinically relevant aspects of dental composite materials with a view to meeting the needs of researchers and practitioners. Following an introduction on their development, the composition of contemporary composites is analyzed. A chapter on polymerization explains the setting reactions and light sources available for light-cured composites. The quality of monomer-to-polymer conversion is a key factor for material properties. Polymerization shrinkage along with the associated stress remains among the most challenging issues regarding composite restorations. A new classification of dental composites is proposed to offer more clinically relevant ways of differentiating between commercially avail.
