The Dental Materials Research Center of the Babol University of Medical Sciences was established in 2009 in an approximate area of 200 square meters at School of Dentistry. This center sent the required documents for get definitive approval to the Ministry of Health in 2013. The necessity of conducting research from a scientific point of view is irrefutable. Therefore, conducting research on the movement and dynamism of science to serve the people is essential and humane. This does not only require the recognition of the current situation (both from the internal and external points of view), but also requires a comprehensive and, at the same time, practical application. From this perspective, the Dental Material Research Center has gained the honor of being the first specialized dental research center in the country, in pursuit of the holy goals of the Islamic Republic of Iran. So far, the cellular and molecular biology research center has three PhD by research students.

Laboratories of research center
The lab has advanced devices and equipment that, under ambient lighting conditions, are able to digitally recognize the color of the tooth, in 3D Master and Vita systems, and devices that increase the speed of teeth bleaching with three periods of radiation Cool light (LED) to the teeth, continuously, in a therapeutic session, with high speed and precision. In this laboratory, the pedebII pulp temperature and pressure simulator is used to simulate the conditions in the mouth that enters the water into the dental pulp space at 37 ° C and a pressure of 34-40 cmH2O. It is also equipped with an Erbium (Diode) device that can be used in both soft and hard tissue types, which is used in oral diseases, TMJ discomfort, soft tissue surgery, tooth extraction, etching and so on. Tests and measurements of tensile and pressure by universal testing device, and tooth hardness test with optics system and high resolution, along with drawing of graph, are tests performed in this laboratory. Also, there is a CCD device (change compiled device) in the lab, as a type of digital receiver, which is capable of recording a sample image.
