Physical Laboratory

One of the main laboratories in the College of Dentistry Research Center is the Physical Laboratory where most of the materials are being tested for their physical strength, tensile, compressive and flexural characteristics that are commonly used in the field of Dental Medicine. The purpose of this Laboratory is to test all the materials being supplied by different manufacturers to ensure the quality and durability of their products and compatibility of materials under the approval of Saudi Dental Society before it will be disseminated to the different clinical fields of dentistry. We have the Instron machine for material testing, the Coloreye Spectrophotometer for color/shade differentiation, Atomic Absorption Spectrometer for elemental analyzing and Microhardness machine. The laboratory usage is rising tremendously under the supervision of Prof. Mohammed T. Bukhary as the Director of the Research Center and Mrs. Lourdes J. Alegado as Research Lab Technician.
