Course Overview
Dental materials are uniquely crafted components used in dentistry. Dental items come in numerous varieties, and depending on what they are used for, different features apply. Materials in Oral Health online certification is created by The University of Hong Kong and taught by James Kit Hon Tsoi - Assistant Professor in Dental Materials Science, Assistant Dean of Electives & Experiential Learning, and Jukka Pekka Matinlinna - Professor in Dental Materials Science, which is made available through Coursera.
Materials in Oral Health online classes aim to provide applicants with an understanding of the practical application of biomaterials in various dentistry and clinical implications as well as are introduced to the practices and testing methods that are used to evaluate important mechanical properties of biomaterials in the research laboratory. With the help of the Materials in Oral Health online training, applicants will also learn about the unique qualities and advantages of biomaterials such as ceramics, contemporary composites, titanium, zirconia, titanium alloys, and other.

What you will learn
After completing the Materials in Oral Health certification course, applicants will develop an in-depth understanding of the various concepts of dentistry including pediatric dentistry, and restorative dentistry as well as an understanding of the multiple types of dental materials and ceramic materials involved with oral health treatment. Applicants will explore the procedure of orthodontics diagnosis, surface analysis, surface treatment, surface treatment, bonding, maxillofacial surgery, oral surgery, acid itching, spectroscopy, and digital stereophotogrammetry. Applicants will learn about dental cement, endodontic cement, glass ionomer cement, and resin-modified glass ionomer cement. dental adhesives, dental filling, fibre reinforced composite. Applicants will also learn about tools like radiopacifier, and intraoral scanners as well as will acquire the skills to work with various CAD and CAM technologies for cone beam computed tomography, crown fabrication, and 3d printing.
