Her work is focused on tooth properties and the improvement or development of new restorative materials.
For example, when a more conservative preparation would be beneficial, composite is the recommended restorative material.
Amalgam, a common dental restorative material, may turn adjacent areas of teeth black or gray.
As dental restorative materials advanced, so did the technology to cure these materials.
This page is about types of dental restorative materials.
There are many challenges for the physical properties of the ideal dental restorative material.
The goal of research and development is to develop the ideal restorative material.
The ideal restorative material would be identical to natural tooth structure, in strength adherence and appearance.
The chemistry of the setting reaction for direct restorative materials is designed to be more biologically compatible.
For years, they have been considered the benchmark of restorative dental materials.
