My research is focused on testing properties of materials in the field of dentistry, specifically wear testing as it correlates to surface free energy. One of the primary causes for prosthodontic treatment is due to dental wear, which can be defined as the chemical or mechanical erosion of the tooth in the oral environment. The risk of dental wear increases with age and improper diet, but a large issue associated with increased erosion is low salivary production. The surface free energy can be determined through contact angle measurements between the material and a small drop of water or other fluid. This research is focused on investigating how the interaction of fluid and dental materials can affect the rate of wear on various dental implant materials and the natural tooth.
