Development of Stress-bearing, Caries-inhibiting Dental Nanocomposites

Sponsored by: Dental Materials

Description: Secondary caries and restoration fracture are the most-frequent reasons for replacement of existing restorations. Replacement dentistry accounts for 70% of all operative work and costs $5 billion/year in U.S. This Lunch&Learn describes new nanocomposites with high strength and Ca-PO4 release to provide the needed combination of stress-bearing and caries-inhibiting capabilities.
