Orthodontic Applications of Biomaterials

Orthodontic Applications of Biomaterials: A Clinical Guide reviews the applications of biomaterials and their effects on enamel preparation, bonding, bracket and archwire ligation, mechanotherapy, debonding, and long-term enamel structural, color, and surface effects.

The book provides a step-by-step analysis of the phenomena occurring, their clinical importance, and their underlying cause without the use of complex mathematical or physical-chemical analyses, with the goal of providing 'digestible' evidence for the clinician.

• Serves as a reference source of the spectrum of biomaterials used in orthodontics
• Presents the most current evidence of state-of-the-art methods of materials research
• Provides substantiation for the effects occurring during the materials' uses
