"Who would have thought that buying the latest textbook was almost
as cool as buying the latest mobile phone? The author, Professor
Richard van Noort, lectures dental students at the University of
Sheffield. As one of his students, I have been able to witness the
Professor's impeccable knowledge of past, present and future dental
materials. The great show of enthusiasm and passion he displays as
a dental materials university lecturer mirrors ever page in his
textbook. I used the 3rd edition quite extensively and it was one
of my favourite textbooks before the 4th edition came out! Besides
the lack of colour, I could not think of many ways that would
improve the 3rd edition but how wrong was I? The recent
introduction of the 4th edition includes the addition of several
mouth-watering features but the pick of the bunch has to be the
introduction of an "all new on-line self-assessment module," Credit
must be given to Dr Michele Barbour for her role in this new
initiative. I must also commend the publishers for ensuring that
the whole textbook is now "published in full colour throughout." I
personally thrive on colour and was delighted to find out that
there had been a significant change in the colour scheme. All in
all, this book is nothing short of amazing. It really is a must-buy
for all 2nd and 3rd year dental students!" Dental Student,

"There are many dental material books out there and in my opinion
this has got to be the most straightforward one. I've tried reading
numerous other books but they cannot compare to how this book reads
- this book is pitched at the correct level. The chapters are
simple but effective. I found the schematic diagrams very helpful
at demonstrating the different between particle arrangements in
different dental materials. There are also chemical diagrams to
demonstrate the different functional groups and their possible
interactions. My lecturer highly recommends this book and I have to
echo his works. Dental material can be a very dry subject
especially for students that haven't done physics at A Level-
myself included. This book is great for those who want to
understand the fundamentals of the materials we work with or for
those who want to read around the subject." Dental Student,
University of Birmingham, Spring 2013
"A feature likely to benefit dental students is the 'online
assessment tool' accessed through a supplementary website,
available when a code from within the book is entered. More than
500 questions can be viewed in either a 'study mode', where
feedback and discussion is offered, or in an 'assessment mode'
where questions are encountered under exam conditions. Both can be
attempted through three levels of difficulty and are an excellent
way to consolidate new found knowledge on this subject. It is an
invaluable resource for an undergraduate to enhance their revision.
The book successfully covers all aspects of materials used in the
profession from the safety and biocompatibility to clinician
application and laboratory-based uses...The book is an extremely
useful tool for dental undergraduates, covering the full curriculum
on dental materials in a comprehensive and easily understood
manner, aided throughout by high quality full-colour illustrations.
Additionally, the book could certainly serve to benefit those
sitting postgraduate exams and also more experienced clinicians
seeking an aide-memoire. An Introduction to Dental Materials would
be a valuable addition to the library of any dentist." British
Dental Journal, July 2013
