Pre-validating alternative methods for testing dental filling materials
The European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) has published a call for tenders for a study on pre-validation of an alternative method or methods for the biocompatibility testing of dental filling materials. The aim of the study is to obtain a preliminary assessment of the relevance and reliability of one or more 'in vitro' tests for the biocompatibility of dental filling materials, by performing an experimental study according to the ECVAM principles and procedures of pre-validation.For further information, please contact: European Commission Directorate-General JRC Institute for Health and Consumer Protection European Centre for Validation of Alternative Methods Attn: Dr A Worth Via Fermi 1 TP 580 I-21020 Ispra Tel: +39 03 32 78 95 66 Fax: +39 03 32 78 58 45
