Experiments in Natural and Synthetic Dental Materials: A Mouthful of ExperimentsThe objectives of these experiments are to show that the area of biomaterials, especially dental materials (natural and synthetic), contain all of the elements of good and bad design, with the caveat that a person's health is directly involved. The students learn the process of designing materials for the complex interactions in the oral cavity, analyze those already used, and suggest possible solutions to the problems involved with present technology. The N.I.O.S.H. Handbook is used extensively by the students and judgement calls are made, even without extensive biology education.
