For the best possible restoration of damaged teeth, dental materials and their manufacture are as important as the skills of the dentist. The Competence Center Dental Materials focuses on the development of preclinical tests and on scientific quality assurance in dentistry.
Assessment of the Patient Risk of Dental Materials
One focus of the Competence Center Dental Materials is the development of preclinical tests to assess the patient risk of dental materials. Cytotoxicity, cell proliferation and cell differentiation under the influence of dental materials are examined. Mechanical material testing and the determination of the substance release of dental materials complement the biological test procedures. These preclinical evaluations can be implemented in the framework of the product development and licensing (CE label) of new dental materials.
The Competence Center Dental Materials is accredited as a testing laboratory (No. 231) according to the Law on Accreditations and conforms to the requirements of ÖVE/ÖNORM EN ISO/IEC 17025.
Scientific Quality Assurance in Dentistry
From the moulding to the finished technical restoration: In scientific experimental set-ups, the individual steps, from the moulding stage up to the finished technical restoration (incl. cementation), are examined with the aim of optimising the quality and precise fit of the restorations. The precise fit of restorations produced with conventional methods is compared to restorations produced with CAD/CAM technology.
Direct Fillings:In scientific experimental set-ups, the individual steps of placing various direct filling materials are examined to optimise the quality, aesthetic result, and longevity of direct filling materials. Special emphasis is placed on the bonding process.
