PROSTHODONTICS
The Department of Prosthodontics and Dental Materials Science offers a wide range of opportunities for conducting studies related to dental prosthetics, both in preclinical and clinical research. With our extensive network in the dental sector, we can also facilitate collaborations with additional partners from industry or research institutions for specific projects, if desired.
Our research focuses include:
Prosthodontic Treatment Concepts
- Minimally invasive treatment methods
- Craniomandibular dysfunction
- Aesthetic dentistry
- Maxillofacial prosthetics (epithetics)
- Oral function
- Patient-centered care (Patient-Reported Outcomes)
- Geriatric dentistry
Implant Prosthodontics
- Implant-abutment connections
- Digital implant planning
- Surface conditioning of adhesive bonding systems/Tensile and shear testing of adhesive bonds
- Prefabricated dentures (immediate restoration concepts)
Material Testing
- Mechanical and optical material testing
- Wear behavior of retention systems (e.g., telescopic crowns)
Digital Dentistry
- Digital fabrication of prosthetics (additive and/or subtractive manufacturing)
- AI-assisted treatment planning and therapies
- Digital analysis of manufacturing and fit accuracy
- Digital treatment simulations
Forensic Dentistry
- Identification of unknown deceased individuals
- Dental age estimation
Educational Media (Virtual Reality)
- VR headsetsin dental education
- Simodont simulators for dental training
- Digital preparation evaluation (prepCheck)
