About the Course

The drive for development of new and novel oral biomaterials has never been more important with many people using oral biomaterials today and seeing their benefits in restoring and improving their oral health for a more enjoyable lifestyle. The unique properties of biomaterials such as titanium (Ti), zirconia (ZrO2) and various polymeric materials have made them materials of choice in oral health: dental implants, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and even regenerative medicine. Oral biomaterials research today is an exciting and intensive multidisciplinary area that encompasses contributions from a wide range of fields from professional dentistry to biology, chemistry, physics, material science, and engineering. Materials in Oral Health is a FREE 4-week course open to all interested learners. In the course, you will learn about the special properties and benefits of biomaterials including, titanium and titanium alloys, zirconia and other alloys, ceramics, and modern composites. You will gain insights of the practical use of these biomaterials in different aspects of dentistry and clinical implications. You will realize how contemporary dentistry is about unifying synthetic materials to living tooth and bone tissues. You will get in touch with the crucial roles of digital dentistry and learn about CAD/CAM technology in crown fabrication, 3D printing and digital orthodontics. And lastly, you will be introduced to procedures and testing methods used to test significant mechanical properties of biomaterials in the research laboratory. We cordially invite those of you who wish to make a difference in tomorrow’s dental materials and oral health development to join us in the 4-week journey in Materials in Oral Health. You can get recognition for completion of the course by obtaining a Course Certificate. You can refer to details on: https://learner.coursera.help/hc/en-us/articles/208280196...

I felt it could be more clinically oriented and subjects could be more elaborate. More demonstrations can also be made

It was a very good 4-week journey. It is for those who want a further insight on the materials we use in dentistry. I believe this knowledge is really the point that defines the excelent dentist and separates them from the good. It really covered a lot of gaps my dental school left. I recommend it to the dedicated scientists! The 4-star only goes because there are some very small points where I thought there could be improvements and the fact that some further readind articles were not accessible.

Thank you so much for sharing the science with other students, I enjoyed in this course, I hope to repeat this experiment again, but I have some notes about the methods of study that need more improvement to deliver the information to the students with easier ways. Thank you so much.
