Clinical Aspects of Dental Materials
Theory, Practice, and Cases
Fifth Edition
By
Marcia Gladwin,
and
Michael Bagby
DESCRIPTION
Using a proven pedagogical organization, this updated Fifth
Edition of Gladwin and Bagby’s market-leading title focuses
on providing students with a dental materials background that
emphasizes the
clinical
aspects of dental materials, while also
introducing concepts of materials science. The book’s three-
part structure addresses types of dental materials in the 22 chapters of Part I, includes laboratory and
clinical applications (essentially a built-in lab manual) in Part II, and presents 11 case studies in Part
III that serve as an overall review and help students strengthen their critical thinking skills when pro-
viding patient
care.Up-to-date content that reflects the latest advances in dental materials, clinical
photos, review questions, and online videos all combine to help students develop the understanding
of dental materials they need for successful dental hygiene practice.
