Fiber-reinforced composites
Biography
I am a specialist in prosthetic dentistry with fourteen years of experience as a clinician. As a researcher I have been working on the improvement of the physical and mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced composite fixed dental prostheses. I am strongly motivated to investigate the clinical implications of new and emerging digital technologies in restorative dentistry.
Teaching
CAD/CAD technologies
Research
My research interests include the applicability of new technologies in restorative dentistry, as well as the enhancement and development of dental biomaterials. I have attempted to build upon my training and clinical experience in prosthetic dentistry by focusing on the improvement of fiber-reinforced composite fixed dental prostheses.
