Biocompatibility of Orthodontic Materials: A guide to orthodontic material selection, testing and application for a safer clinical practice - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The need for understanding biocompatibility stems from the fact that different materials react differently in a metabolically active environment. Hence, there is a need to establish the safety norms for all materials intended to be used in proximity to living tissues. Only upon satisfactory performance in controlled tests, a material is approved for clinical trials and then, in clinical practice, if further deemed fit. It should be remembered, that biocompatibility should not be compromised upon for mechanical superiority. This book is a plethora of scientific knowledge gained on the biological safety of materials used in day to day orthodontics and methods to improve the biocompatibility quotient of those materials.
