About this ebook

Resin materials are broadly used in dentistry for almost all indications, and they will gain even more importance in the future. Especially, the increasing performance and efficiency of the CAD/CAM technology and 3D-printing open possibilities to use resins not used up to now in dentistry. Besides dentists, dental students or dental technicians, there are many other specialists such as researchers, material scientists, industrial developers or experts of adjoining professional disciplines who are technically engaged in dental resins. The idea of this e-Book series is to present a three-level textbook consisting of "Basic Level", "Advanced Level" and "Expert Level" versions dealing with material science and technology of dental resins. Every level significantly expands the information and knowledge given by the respective preceding version. This book presents the "Advanced Level" version. The "Advanced Level" broadens the information given in the "Basic Level" significantly and mainly addresses teachers of dental universities/schools, postgraduate students, PhD candidates, researchers, material scientists, industrial developers or experts of adjoining professional disciplines. The "Advanced Level" gives a very profound insight into chemistry, physics, testing methods and toxicology of dental resins and their technical application.

About the author

Ralf Janda was born in 1953 in Berlin. He obtained his Abitur (secondary school-leaving examination in 1973 and pursued chemistry at the Free University Berlin (FUB) from 1973 to 1978, thereby obtaining the degree Diploma-Chemist (summa cum laude). While working as a scientific assistant and researcher at the FUB he wrote his doctoral thesis and graduated in 1979 as a natural science doctor, Dr. rer. nat. (summa cum laude). His professional career as a scientific assistant and lecturer at the FUB came to an end in 1980. Ralf Janda also joined the dental industry in this year as head of research and development. He worked for many internationally leading dental companies (Kulzer GmbH, Germany, Degussa AG-Dental Division, today Degudent/Dentsply GmbH, Germany, Dentsply/Detech GmbH, Germany, Dentsply INC., USA, Dentaurum GmbH & Co. KG, Germany) in different leading positions as head of: R&D, production, quality assurance, dental technology, worldwide project leader until 2003. During this time, he was a member of many dental standard commissions, and from 1987 to 2000, he was also a member of the drug commission A at the drug institute of the Federal Republic of Germany. In 2003, he joined the cosmetic industry specialized on light-curing artificial nail products and stayed there until 2017. In addition to his professional pursuits, Ralf Janda has maintained a lengthy and extensive scientific career as a researcher and lecturer at numerous universities, beginning at the FUB in 1978. From 1988 to 1990, he was a lecturer at the Faculty of Material Sciences of the Technical University Berlin, where he taught resin composite materials. From 1991 to 1999, he worked as a researcher and lecturer for non-metallic dental materials at the dental department of the Medical Faculty of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe-University, Frankfurt/M. In 1992, he obtained his Habilitation (qualification for a teaching career at universities) and the degree Privatdozent (associate professor) in dental material science at the same university. From 1999 to 2004, Ralf Janda was Privatdozent at the Center of Dental Medicine of the Medical Faculty, Charité, Humboldt-University Berlin. From 2004 to 2021 he worked as a researcher and lecturer at the dental clinic of the Medical Faculty of the Heinrich Heine University, Düsseldorf. In 2006, he was appointed as apl. Professor (adjunct professor) in dental material science. Since 2021 he put his focus on writing textbooks about dental materials.
