Introduction to Teeth -- Clinical Evaluation and Laboratory Wear-Testing Methods -- Friction and Wear Behavior of Human Teeth -- Effect of the Oral Environment on the Tribological Behavior of Human Teeth -- Microtribology of Human Teeth -- Tribological Behavior of Dental Restorative Materials -- Fretting Failure of Dental Implant-Bone Interface -- Inspiration from the Wear of Human Teeth
Summary
This book explains the relationship between the structures and tribological properties of human teeth, provides guidance on the biomimic design of anti-wear engineering systems based on human teeth, and explains mechanisms of occlusal wear and erosion, as well as fretting wear related to dental implants and orthodontics. Valuable insights into the development of improved dental materials and oral treatments are also discussed
