Spectroscopic Tools and Techniques for Analysis of Dental Materials

Spectroscopic Tools and Techniques for Analysis of Dental Materials: Current Trends introduces the dental materials and spectroscopic techniques applied for the analysis of such materials, including ceramic, metallic, polymeric and composites. The following individual chapters are primarily based on particular spectroscopic techniques and their applications, including X-ray Spectroscopy, Ultraviolet & visible spectroscopy, Fourier Transfer Infrared Spectroscopy, Raman Spectroscopy and Mass spectrometry. Different oral diseases, caries, calculus, periodontitis and oral mucosal diseases such as oral cancer, will be discussed as well.This is an ideal book for dental professionals, researchers and students interested in the analysis of dental materials. Key Features: - Individual chapters include brief introductions of specific techniques - Mathematical details are kept at a necessary minimum level - Includes case studies to suit the target audience

Dr. Ashutosh Kumar Shukla has obtained his B.Sc., M.Sc. and D. Phil. degrees from University of Allahabad, India. His current research interest is primarily based on the applications of Spectroscopy techniques in different fields of societal interest. In addition to his exposure to the CW-ESR spectrometers at leading institutes of his own country, he is enriched with hands on experience with modern CW and pulsed ESR spectrometers at several leading departments such as University of St. Andrew's, Scotland, and Kazan State University, Kazan. Dr. Shukla is currently Professor of Physics at Ewing Christian College, Prayagraj, a constituent college of University of Allahabad, India. He has been awarded the Bilateral Exchange fellowship and Visiting fellowship of Indian National Science Academy, New Delhi in addition to research fellowships of Council of Science and Technology, Lucknow and Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Delhi. With more than 22 years of experience of Physics teaching he has to his credit funded research projects, journal publications, textbooks and more than 30 edited volumes published by reputed publishers.
