The University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) was awarded a $310,000 Project Grant by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121). The grant will fund research to develop a novel primer for reversibly bonding and debonding high-strength dental ceramics, such as lithium disilicate and partially stabilized zirconia, to address the common clinical problem of destructive removal of all-ceramic crowns. Key aspects of the research include characterizing the bonding and debonding capabilities of the primer, evaluating laser irradiation modes to promote efficient debonding, and verifying the primer's thermal, optical, and biocompatibility properties. The findings are expected to yield improved ease of removal, reduced patient trauma, and preservation of dental restorations, resulting in significant time and cost savings. This 2-year grant, awarded on Sep 20, 2024, serves as a stepping stone for future research on activating the primer using various photonic triggers and expanding its applications to other ceramic restorations and prostheses.
