2003 - Development of nanomaterials used in state-of-the-art dental composites

* Mitra developed use of nanomaterial-based dental fillers * Fundamentally addressed key limitations in previous dental restoration materials: lack of durability, aesthetics, and universal applicability. * Introduction of nanotechnology into dental composites overcomes the dichotomy between strength and polishability. * By utilizing nanosized silica and zirconia particles, she has created a hybrid structure that provides both superior mechanical properties and a lifelike appearance.
