Research interestsThe principle focus of my research is fundamental investigation of the complex relationships among compositions, microstructures, mechanical properties, biological properties and clinical performance of dental alloys, using transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, metallographic techniques, a variety of mechanical testing procedures, and cell culture techniques. Current activities are centered on palladium-based casting alloys used for metal-ceramic restorations and implant-supported prostheses and on alternative techniques to casting for the fabrication of titanium alloys for orthodontic wires and endodontic instruments, and the use of thermal analysis techniques to investigate the structures and properties of elastomeric dental materials.Contact info
