Dental materials play a vital role in modern clinical dentistry. A clear understanding of their physical and mechanical properties is essential for selecting the appropriate material and ensuring long-term success of dental restorations and prosthesis. This book provides a concise and comprehensive overview of the fundamental principles governing the behavior of dental materials. The text discusses about the physical properties such as Rheological properties, structural relaxation, color and optical properties, thermal properties, electrochemical properties, magnetic materials and biological properties along with their clinical significance. It also explains about the mechanical properties including stress, strain, strength, stress-strain properties, other strength test methods, flexural strength, fracture of restorations, properties of surface interactions, strength of tooth structure and selection of dental materials. Designed for undergraduate and postgraduate dental students, this book simplifies complex concepts and links material science with clinical application.
