Materials and measurements techniques for dentistry

On Wednesday 7 June 2023 , the Workshop "Materials and measurements techniques for dentistry" will be held in Aula Denina, in the Department of Applied Science and Technology - DISAT of the Politecnico. The Workshop is organised in the frame of the International Project "Innovative materials and techniques for dental health (IMT4DeH)", funded by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. The Project involves researchers from Politecnico and from University of Illinois in Chicago (UIC) and focuses on restorative dentistry, aiming to combine the two research groups’ knowledge in materials engineering, electrochemistry and non-invasive interventions applied to the biomedical field.
