Description
In this course, you will learn:
- Digital Biomaterials is a four-module course that introduces the most cutting-edge digital and computer technologies in dentistry, such as big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital workflow, in order to support clinical dental diagnostics and improve the efficiency of fabricating long-lasting dental restorations. The properties of the most regularly used dental materials, including as titanium, different ceramics, and composite biomaterials, will also be covered. In addition, the adherence of different materials to tooth structures will be discussed.
