Dental Materials Science

Dental Materials Science focuses on the study and development of materials used in dentistry, essential for creating durable and biocompatible dental restorations. It encompasses the research, selection, and application of materials like ceramics, composites, metals, and polymers tailored for dental use. Key aspects include understanding material properties, their interactions with oral tissues, and advancements in fabrication techniques for improved clinical outcomes. This field integrates principles from chemistry, physics, and engineering to innovate and enhance dental treatments.

• Material Selection: Choosing materials based on strength, aesthetics, and biocompatibility.
• Clinical Applications: Utilizing materials for fillings, crowns, bridges, and orthodontic appliances.
• Biocompatibility Testing: Evaluating materials' safety and compatibility with oral tissues.
• Technological Advances: Incorporating nanotechnology and digital dentistry for precise fabrication and better patient outcomes.
