Abstract

The chapter describes the growth and application of thin films.  The development of the hot filament CVD process is described in terms of surface pre-treatments and CVD equipment preparation.  The chapter then focuses on how metal cutting theory can be applied to the machining of bone which is an essential procedure in dental practice.
