Orthodontic Applications of Biomaterials: A Clinical Guide

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 orthodonticsPresents the most current evidence of state-of-the-art methods of materials researchProvides substantiation for the effects occurring during the materials' uses INDICE: Part 1 Structure and properties of orthodontic biomaterials 1. Structure/properties relationship in orthodontic alloys 2. Structure/properties relationship in orthodontic polymers 3. Structure/properties relationship in orthodontic ceramics Part 2 Orthodontic brackets 4. Friction in orthodontic brackets and limitations in investigations 5. Adverse effects from orthodontic alloys (Enamel, corrosion, ionic release, allergies, cytotoxicity) 6. Fundamentals of orthodontic brackets Part 3 Bonding to enamel with orthodontic resin adhesives 7. Methods to study bonding outcome of resin adhesives 8. Enamel preparation and bonding with orthodontic resin adhesives 9. Biological properties of resin adhesives 10. Adverse effects on Enamel from etching-mediated bonding: Structural , Roughness, Colour 11. Bonding lingual fixed retainers 12. Bonding with glass-ionomer cements and resin-modified glass ionomers Part 4 Orthodontic aligners 13. Material properties of aligners for orthodontic applications 14. Clinical performance of aligners for orthodontic applications
