| Summary |
|
The project was targeted
at discovering new posterior dental fillings, |
|
bioactive bone cement
prostheses and in-situ setting bond substitute |
| Achievements |
|
1. Improvement in the
fracture toughness of glass polyalkenoate |
|
cements from ?0.5Mpa/m to
1.40MPa/m. |
|
2. This will be of benefit
in the development of posterior |
|
fillings/amalgam
replacements and also the development of an |
|
adhesive for bonding
orthodontic brackets |
|
3. Development of an
Adhesive cement for cochlear implants |
