Seminars in Advanced Dental Biomaterials

(3 Credits)

This course introduces fundamental concepts of dental materials science. Lectures focus on restorative dental materials used for general dentistry, prosthodontics, and implant dentistry. The goals of the course are threefold: 1) to provide “fundamental knowledge” of dental materials used in general dentistry, 2) to translate mechanical principles to dental techniques and dental materials, and 3) to develop a critical reading of scientific reports in the research field of Dental Materials.
