Using Neutrons to try to Develop Better, Less Costly Dental Restorations
|
Teeth damaged by trauma or disease require treatment to look and feel as good as new, but the restorative materials available to dentists don’t always last and can be costly for patients. A professor at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, College of Dentistry, is conducting research at the DOE's ORNL High Flux Isotope Reactor to try to change that.
