    Summary: This book presents a mechanistic approach--mathematical modeling--for carrying out dental materials research. This approach allows researchers to go beyond the null hypothesis and obtain a solution that is more general and therefore predictive for conditions other than those considered in a study. Hence it can be used either on its own or to complement the commonly used statistical approach. Through a series of practical problems with wide-ranging application, the reader will be guided on: How to construct a mathematical model for the behavior of dental materials by making informed assumptions of the physical, chemical, or mechanical situation How to simplify the model by making suitable simplifications How to calibrate the model by calculating the values of key parameters using experimental results How to refine the model when there are discrepancies between predictions and experiments Only elementary calculus is required to follow the examples and all the problems can be solved by using MS Excel© spreadsheets. This is an ideal book for dental materials researchers without a strong mathematical background who are interested in applying a more mechanistic approach to their research to give deeper insight into the problem at hand. Advance praise for Mathematical Models for Dental Materials Research: "This is a nice addition for research students on how to conduct their work and how to manage data analysis. It brings together a number of important aspects of dental materials investigations which has been missing in the literature. The practical examples make it much easier to understand."--Michael F. Burrow, Clinical Professor in Prosthodontics, The University of Hong Kong "The great strengths of this volume are the real world examples of dental materials research in the successive chapters. In turn, this is an outcome of the outstanding expertise of both authors. I warmly recommend this book to the dental biomaterials community worldwide." - David C. Watts, Professor of Biomaterials Science, University of Manchester, UK.

    Serum samples from 115 patients with various kidney disease were studied by means of precipitation in 3.5% polyethylene-glycol (the PEG test) and by inhibition of agglutination of IgG-coated polystyrene particles induced by C1q, two tests developed for the detection of circulating immune complexes. Positive results were found in acute glomerulonephritis, particularly in its early stages, and also in chronic forms of glomerulonephritis: membranous, focal sclerosing, mesangiocapillary and focal glomerulonephritis. High levels of circulating immune complexes were found in lupus nephritis. In most cases the test results showed a good correlation with the clinical course of the diseases.
