About the Biomaterials and Digital Dentistry Lab

The Biomaterials and Digital Dentistry Lab (BDDL) provides state-of-the-art technology for the evaluation of bonding of restorative materials to sound and decayed dental substrates, as well as physical, mechanical and optical properties of digitally designed dental restorations. Testing includes failure analysis and artificial aging, mechanical testing, and color analysis. Our equipment and expertise are predominantly focused on dental research, but we are able to easily collaborate with other disciplines.

Our mission is to develop high quality research studies in digital technology and dental biomaterials.
