Dr MICHAËL SADOUN

Michaël Sadoun obtained his DDS degree from the University of Paris Descartes in 1978. In 1979, he obtained a master’s degree in dental materials technology from the same university. He also obtained a master’s degree in chemistry-physics and physics-materials science from the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris), in 1981 and 1982 respectively. In 1984, he obtained his doctorate from the University of Paris Descartes. In 1989, he became an assistant professor at the University of Paris Descartes, where he taught dental materials and prosthodontics on pre-doctoral and post-doctoral programmes. From 1982 to 2007, he carried out research at the École Supérieure de Physique et de Chimie Industrielles de Paris (ESPCI, Pierre et Marie Curie University), where he developed and patented new dental ceramics such as the In Ceram system in 1984, marketed worldwide by the Vita company. From 2007 to 2015, he was Director of the Biomaterials and Interfaces Research Unit (URB2I) at the Faculty of Dentistry, Paris Descartes University. He has filed several patents, still under worldwide licence, on CAD-CAM composite materials, in particular polymer-infiltrated ceramic networks (Vita Enamic, Vita). In 2015, he developed a private research center on dental biomaterials (MaJEB) in Liège (Belgium) and a collaboration with the Dental Biomaterials Research Unit of the University of Liège (Prof. A. Mainjot). His research focuses on dental ceramics and composites.
