Description
This comprehensive review brings together research by biomaterials experts in various fields of dentistry, including oral and maxilliofacial surgery, orthodontics and restorative dentistry. Through the presentation of evidence derived exclusively from in vivo studies, the mechanisms governing the aging of materials placed in the oral cavity are clarified and selective aspects of the in vivo performance of materials demonstrated.
