Synopsis

Emerging Nanotechnologies in Dentistry, Second Edition, brings together an international team of experts from the fields of materials science, nanotechnology and dentistry to explain these new materials and their applications for the restoration, fixation, replacement or regeneration of hard and soft tissues in and about the oral cavity and craniofacial region.

New nanomaterials are leading to a range of emerging dental treatments that utilize more biomimetic materials that more closely duplicate natural tooth structure (or bone, in the case of implants). Each chapter has been comprehensively revised from the first edition, and new chapters cover important advances in graphene based materials for dentistry, liposome based nanocarriers and the neurotoxicity of nanomaterials used in dentistry.

• Offers a comprehensive professional reference for the subject covering materials fabrication and use of materials for all major diagnostic and therapeutic dental applications: repair, restoration, regeneration, implants and prevention
• Focuses in depth on the materials manufacturing processes involved, with emphasis on pre-clinical and clinical applications, use and biocompatibility
• Examines the use of novel nanomaterials including graphene in dentistry, exploring how these may best be used

About the Authors

Assistant Professor of Dental Medicine at Roseman University of Health Sciences, USA. He was the recipient of the prestigious 2006 Andre Schroeder Research Prize from Straumann (Switzerland) for his innovative research findings during his Biomedical Nanotechnology degree program in the United Kingdom. Dr. Subramani was involved in the International Team for Implantology (ITI) funded research projects in Switzerland, the Netherlands and in the USA. He has authored numerous peer-reviewed research papers and review manuscripts and has authored numerous book chapters. He is also the editor of the Elsevier book Nanomaterials in Clinical Dentistry together with Waqar Ahmed.

Waqar Ahmed is an experienced professor and Director of Enterprise at the University of Lincoln's College of Science. With a background in nano(bio)materials and extensive experience in research, leadership, management, and lecturing, he brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to this book. His contributions will help readers gain a fundamental understanding of the applications of engineering management principles through practical case studies and graded self-assessment questions. Waqar couples vast academic experience with a decade of industrial and technology transfer experience in the UK and internationally. He has published extensively research papers, reviews and books including several with Elsevier such as Advances in Medical and Surgical Engineering; Emerging Nanotechnologies series including Emerging nanotechnologies for Manufacturing (1st and 2nd editions); Emerging nanotechnologies for Dentistry (1st and 2nd Editions) and Emerging Nanotechnologies for Renewable Energy.
