Associate Professor and Director of Biomaterials at the Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine and Associate Professor in the Division of Materials Science and Engineering. Dr. Giordano received a D.M.D., certificate in prosthodontics and D.Sc. at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine. He worked on the development of the CEREC VITABLOC MKII at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a postdoctoral student. Since 1987, Dr. Giordano has been actively involved in materials development and testing for CAD/CAM systems, tissue engineering, and restorative materials. His research on CAD/CAM materials led to the invention of a new machinable block marketed as Enamic, holding several patents on this and other materials. Dr. Giordano is actively involved in at the national and international level on materials standards development for machinable blocks, CAD/CAM, and dental ceramics. As Director of Biomaterials, their work encompasses materials development, clinical, and laborat
