Course Overview

The Online course on Biomaterials and Your Health training is a four-week online course. This course syllabus was offered and designed by the University of Hong Kong and delivered through the EDX platform. The top experts in the field of this institute Jukka Matinlinna and James Kit Hon Tsoi explain this certification course.

The course Biomaterials and Your Health consists of four modules that introduce cutting-edge technologies in dentistry such as biomimicry, nanoneedles, and their application in oral cancer diagnostics. Students will also learn about the properties of the most commonly used dental materials, such as modern bone cement, glass ionomer cement, fiber-reinforced composites, and silicon. Furthermore, standardization and workplace safety issues in dentistry will be addressed.

Participants can join either of the two tracks of this self-paced course by paying a fee or free of cost. In the free track, the students will be able to audit the programme. In the verified track one can audit the course for a limited duration, they need to submit the course fee and get an unlimited duration during which they can finish learning the course.

Eligibility Criteria

Certification Qualifying Details

The completion of the University of Hong Kong's Biomaterials and Your Health certification by the EDX Platform. Students must participate in and complete the course in order to receive the certificate.

What you will learn

After completion of this Biomaterials and Your Health certification syllabus, the discovery of new biomaterials and biotechnologies not only aids in the treatment of diseases but also improves our quality of life. Biomaterials research is now an exciting and intensive multidisciplinary field that includes contributions from clinical medicine, biology, chemistry, physics, material science, and engineering.

You will learn about the unique properties of biomedical materials in oral health care, as well as cutting-edge technologies like nanoneedle in oral cancer and the critical roles of digital dentistry in modern oral health care. Furthermore, clinicians and scientists worldwide will share their cutting-edge research and findings, including potential and novel biomaterials applications in oral health care.
