A bibliography of scanning electron microscopy in dentistry

This bibliography represents a compilation of pertinent technical literature on SEM in dentistry. The purpose of this collection of references is to help dental researchers and students by bringing together a comprehensive ready reference for their use. Our library utilizes the BRS (Bibliographical Retrieval Service) as their data base vendor. BRS offers a SDI (Selective Dissemination of Information) service method which automatically produces a printout of new information as it is added to the BRS medical and dental file database each month. The search strategy profile is determined by the user and can be updated at anytime. The BRS system has been utilized for the accumulation of data for this bibliography and has been updated through October, 1981. The search strategy includes SEM with a comprehensive list of dental and dental related terms, however, the 659 references contained in the bibliography is not totally inclusive of SEM in dentistry since "SEM" is not included in all citations, titles, abstracts, or key words and will, therefore, be lost to other primary and secondary titles. A subject index follows on page 225. Scanning electron microscope (y, ic) is abbreviated as SEM to conserve space and time.
