This NIH-funded project focuses on creating sustainable dental biopolymers to improve dental restoration longevity by enhancing resin-dentin adhesion through novel stilbenoid compounds.

### Description

The project aims to develop a new type of modular, plant-derived, and sustainable phenolic biopolymer to enhance resin-dentin adhesion, thereby extending the service life of dental restorations. It involves generating diverse natural and bio-inspired stilbenoid compounds, establishing structure-activity relationships, and developing standardized functional adhesive biomaterials for improved dental treatments.
