Department of Dental Biomaterials
Dental biomaterials is such a subject where students will be given a deep understanding of the field of dental materials and the knowledge necessary to conduct research, or work in product development and place special emphasis on the use of materials in both clinical and non-clinical applications. Introduce them to materials science, focusing on the major classes of materials used in dentistry including polymers, metals, ceramics and composites and provide them with up-to-date information on current dental materials. Learn about their functional properties, bioactivity and biocompatibility, and also cover specific uses of dental materials, such as drug delivery, tissue engineering and regulatory affairs.
ABOUT
Our aim is to produce highly skilled, motivated, creative and team-work oriented graduates who want to specialise in dental materials or a related field. The students will work with distinguished academics and clinicians throughout the programme and work on cutting-edge research projects.
