Biocompatibility of New Polyurethane-based Polymeric Materials for Sports Mouthguard Fabrication
The lab tests how new polyurethane mouthguard materials affect cell health. Students will grow mouse cells, expose them to material extracts, and measure cell survival to see if the materials are safe for sports gear.

Influence of Ceramic Shade and Thickness on the Degree of Conversion of Light-Cured Resin-Based Cements
The lab tests how the shade and thickness of ceramic dental restorations affect how well a light-cured cement hardens underneath them. Thicker or darker ceramics lowered curing, except that the lightest shade (A1) cured well at every thickness and all 0.5 mm pieces cured similarly regardless of shade.
