Finland, under the supervision of Professor Dr. Arzu Mutluay-Tezvergil, allowed him to master many laboratory tests like micro tensile bond strength, nano leakage, etc., and published his scientific work in very prestigious journals. At present, he is involved in many research studies on the improvement of adhesives’ biodegradation resistance.

Collection Overview

One of the most challenging imperatives in dental health is increasing the life span of dental restorations and developing it to be a relative replacement of the original tooth structure with the same physical, functional, and aesthetic properties. The goal at hand requires significant effort to achieve. Therefore, any published work that simplifies a test or clinical trick and helps achieve the goal is welcome in our Methods Collection.

This Methods Collection aims to include methodological videos describing sensitive laboratory tests, such as nano leakage and hybrid layer SEM characterization, commonly used by dental biomaterial researchers. In addition, innovative clinical methodologies related to restorative and aesthetic dentistry science will also be included. It is important to note that all clinical videos must strictly adhere to ethical requirements.
