Instructor Qualifications:
Dr. Alireza Moshaverinia is a Diplomate of the American Board of Prosthodontics and a professor at the UCLA School of Dentistry, Section of Prosthodontics. Alireza has received his DDS degree in 2004 from Iran. He has a Master of Science degree in Dental Biomaterials (2009) from the Ohio State University, College of Dentistry. He completed advanced clinical education in Prosthodontics and earned his PhD in Craniofacial Biology from Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC (2012).
He has published more than 100 papers in peer-reviewed journals on dental materials, implant dentistry, and stem cell-mediated tissue engineering. He also holds multiple patents related to bioactive dental materials and implant dentistry. He serves as an associate editor for Journal of Prosthodontics and serves on the editorial review board member for several scientific journals such as Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry. Dr. Moshaverinia is the recipient of several awards in recognition of his scientific achievements including: John Sharry Award and GSK Prosthodontist Innovator Award from the American College of Prosthodontists, NIH Career Development Award, International Association for Dental Research Innovation in Oral Care Award, IADR Academy of Osseointegration innovation in Implant Sciences Award, Academy of Osseointegration (AO) Research Grant Award, and Peter Geistlich Research Award (Osteo Science Foundation). Dr. Moshaverinia has received Discovery Inception Award from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM). More recently, he received the prestigious IADR Young Investigator Award from International Association for Dental Research and American College of Prosthodontists Distinguished Researcher Award. He is fellow of American Association for Dental, Oral, and Craniofacial research (AADOCR) and Academy of Osseointegration.
Dr. Moshaverinia directs the Laboratory for Biomaterials Innovation & Tissue Engineering (BITE) at Weintraub Center for Reconstructive Biotechnology, UCLA School of Dentistry. Dr. Moshaverinia lectures nationally and internationally on various topics such as dental ceramics, implant dentistry, and multidisciplinary treatment planning.

Course Summary:
This lecture will explore how the next generation of smart dental materials is revolutionizing patient care by moving beyond traditional restorative functions. These bioactive materials are designed not only to repair but to actively prevent disease, promote natural tissue regeneration, and combat infection at the source. Dr. Moshaverinia will share insights from his work in developing innovative solutions for dental fillings, bone grafting, and implant coatings that integrate therapeutic, antibacterial, and regenerative capabilities. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how science-driven materials are shaping the future of dentistry, offering clinicians new tools to improve outcomes, enhance longevity, and support minimally invasive, biologically friendly treatments.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the concept of bioactive dental materials and their role in disease prevention and tissue regeneration.
- Identify the clinical applications of bioactive materials in restorative dentistry, implantology, and bone
regeneration. - Recognize the advantages of antibacterial and regenerative technologies in improving long-term treatment
outcomes. - Evaluate how emerging material science innovations can be integrated into daily clinical practice to support
minimally invasive and biologically driven treatment approaches. - Explore the future direction of dental biomaterials research and its potential to enhance patient care through preventive and regenerative strategies.
