Phillips Science of Dental Materials: 2 South Asia Edition (2^nd Ed.)
Second South Asia Edition

Phillips Science of Dental Materials: Second South Asia edition, based on the 13th edition of Phillips' Science of Dental Materials, while

maintaining the current and authoritative nature, has incorporated certain features, which would make it more valuable to students and clinicians in

the Indian context. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the composition, biocompatibility, physical properties, mechanical properties,

manipulative variables, and performance of direct and indirect restorative materials and auxiliary materials used in dentistry.

. More than 500 full-color photos and illustrations show concepts, dental instruments, and restorations

. Major emphasis on biocompatibility serves as a useful guide to the principles and clinical implications of

restorative materials safety

. This book provides comprehensive, up-to-date information on the materials used in cosmetic and restorative

procedures in dentistry

. Manipulation, techniques for cementation, polishing methods are incorporated in easily accessible boxes

. Color coded boxes with simplified clinical recommendations provided in all chapters, especially useful for students

and clinicians. Provides relevant clinical tips at a glance

. For students simplified highlighted text and bulleted summary provided in each chapter

. Two new chapters are added: Digital Technology in Dentistry

and Clinical Research of Restorations

. Key terms are defined at the beginning of each chapter, covering

terminology related to dental biomaterials and science

. 10 procedural videos as digital resource on

www.medenact.com

. MCQ's with answers and Case series for different

clinical scenarios
