Summary:Annotation nbsp;This comprehensive review of bonding to cement, dentin and enamel, and analysis of adhesion mechanisms, with emphasis on the characterization of interfaces of materials with dental tissues in situ addresses the dentalnbsp;clinician and researcher at the same time. It emphasizes the role of appropriate experimental protocol design in facilitating clinically-relevant research methods, nbsp;clarifies the mechanisms of adhesion of polymeric materials to hard dental tissues and provides a handy reference for routine clinical procedures in restorative and prosthetic dentistry as well as orthodontics. The book introduces to important aspects of chemistry of dental materials, and their adaptation to dental hard tissues and analyses interfacial phenomena occurring during application of materials, including mechanical properties, and structural-compositional alterations. It presents the current instrumental approaches in studying related issues and summary of the current status of theories concerning bonding to dental tissues. The scope and scientific content of this work substantially concerns the way aesthetic dentistry is currently being practiced.
