The Biomedical Materials and Devices Research cluster investigates how materials and devices simulate physiological environments, improve treatments for disease conditions, and help regenerate normal physiology. This fully horizontally and vertically integrated laboratory/basic science research  supports  and explains the clinical and translational oral health research advancing current paradigms and therapeutic concepts. The Biomedical Materials and Devices Research cluster includes investigations in polarizing light stability, phototherapy, mechanobiology, dentin bonding, and biomineralization.
