Formation of the Enamel-Dentin Interface
Description: The proposed studies are aimed to understand the basis of the extreme mechanical robustness of the DEJ, the interface between two major tissues of a tooth- dentin and enamel. They are anticipated to provide novel information leading to new strategies for dental treatment, improvement of quality and longevity of crown restorations and the development of novel smart nanomaterials with high interfacial stability for medical and dental applications.
