Area of Research
Translational and clinical research in reconstructive dentistry involves the development, testing and application of various materials for fixed dental prostheses (crown-bridge), removable dental restorations and restorations on dental implants. The goal is to optimize the CAD / CAM support in fabrication and development of low biofilm adherence surfaces, focusing on soft tissue interactions, hard tissue adhesion, and the mechanical stability of screwed and cemented reconstructions.
