• The design of human subject research protocols to investigate human physiologic processes in vivo, thereby enabling the development of human physiologic models that assist in the design and testing of devices/drugs to treat oral health related diseases.
• Clinical research activities include clinical trials on products related to periodontal disease, the caries process, oral malodor treatment, dentinal hypersensitivity treatment, tooth whitening and local anesthesia products. These research activities include in FDA Phase I, II and III clinical trials.
• Dental material research includes mechanical properties testing, scanning electron microscopy, in vitro bio-compatibility and in vivo dental materials evaluations.
