Beschreibung

Material-Tissue Interfacial Phenomena: Contributions from Dental and Craniofacial Reconstructions explores the material/tissue interfacial phenomena using dental and craniofacial reconstructions as a model system. As the mouth is a particularly caustic environment, the synthetic and/or bio-enabled materials used to repair damaged tissues and restore form, function, and esthetics to oral structures must resist a variety of physical, chemical, and mechanical challenges. These challenges are magnified at the interface between dissimilar structures such as the tooth/material interface. Interfacial reactions at the atomic, molecular, and nano-scales initiate the failure of materials used to repair, restore, and reconstruct dental and craniofacial tissues. Understanding the phenomena that lead to failure at the interface between dissimilar structures, such as synthetic materials and biologic tissues, is confounded by a variety of factors that are thoroughly discussed in this comprehensive book. - Provides a specific focus on the oral environment - Combines clinical views and basic science into a useful reference book - Presents comprehensive coverage of material-interfacial phenomena within the oral environment

Autor

Anil Misra PhD is Professor of Civil Engineering and Associate Director of the Bioengineering Research Center at the University of Kansas, Lawrence. He was previously Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. He has more than 25 years of experience in the area of granular micromechanics, multi-scale modeling and micro-macro correlations, constitutive behavior of interfaces, e.g. material/tissue interfaces, granular soils, and cement/asphalt concrete, and multi-modal material characterization using high-resolution techniques. He has co-edited three books and guest-edited four journal special issues. He serves as a reviewer for multiple journals, extramural funding agencies and also provides consulting services to industry.
