Overview

New nanomaterials are leading to a range of emerging dental treatments that utilize more biomimetic materials that more closely duplicate natural tooth structure (or bone, in the case of implants). The use of nanostructures that will work in harmony with the body’s own regenerative processes (eg, to restore tooth structure or alveolar bone) are moving into clinical practice. This book brings together an international team of experts from the fields of nanomaterials, biomedical engineering and dentistry, to cover the new materials and techniques with potential for use intra-orally or extra-orally for the restoration, fixation, replacement, or regeneration of hard and soft tissues in and about the oral cavity and craniofacial region. New dental nanotechnologies include the use of advanced inorganic and organic materials, smart and biomimetic materials, tissue engineering and drug delivery strategies.

Author Information

Assistant Professor of Dental Medicine at Roseman University of Health Sciences, USA. He was the recipient of the prestigious 2006 Andre Schroeder Research Prize from Straumann (Switzerland) for his innovative research findings during his Biomedical Nanotechnology degree program in the United Kingdom. Dr. Subramani was involved in the International Team for Implantology (ITI) funded research projects in Switzerland, the Netherlands and in the USA. He has authored numerous peer-reviewed research papers and review manuscripts and has authored numerous book chapters. He is also the editor of the Elsevier book Nanomaterials in Clinical Dentistry together with Waqar Ahmed. Waqar Ahmed is an experienced professor and Director of Enterprise at the University of Lincoln's College of Science. With a background in nano(bio)materials and extensive experience in research, leadership, management, and lecturing, he brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to this book. His contributions will help readers gain a fundamental understanding of the applications of engineering management principles through practical case studies and graded self-assessment questions. Waqar couples vast academic experience with a decade of industrial and technology transfer experience in the UK and internationally. He has published extensively research papers, reviews and books including several with Elsevier such as Advances in Medical and Surgical Engineering; Emerging Nanotechnologies series including Emerging nanotechnologies for Manufacturing (1st and 2nd editions); Emerging nanotechnologies for Dentistry (1st and 2nd Editions) and Emerging Nanotechnologies for Renewable Energy.
