| Content | Introduction to oral health from the clinical and engineering/research points of view, Fundamentals of hard X-ray imaging: Micro- and nanostructure of human crowns in health and disease, Ex vivo characterization of a human crown with a caries lesion: Excise at micro computed tomography system (SkyScan 1275), Mechanical removal of the caries-affected hard tissue, Ex vivo characterization of a human crown after removal of the caries lesions: Excise at micro computed tomography system, Preparation of dental fillings ex vivo using preselected materials, Ex vivo characterization of a human crown with dental filling: Excise at micro computed tomography system, Intraoral scanners: Function and accuracy, Intraoral scanners: Correct handling and training, Current and future aligner treatments, Devices to train the tongue muscles: Principles, medical applications and beyond, Studying the efficacy of bone graft materials and mineralization in jaw bone and teeth, Segmentation and data registration for the quantitative evaluation of the dental fillings, |
| Learning objectives | The students will become familiar with the dentistry-related human anatomy and restoration treatments. They will acquire knowledge on state-of-the-art dental materials and technologies applied in well-equipped dental offices and learn how to quantitatively characterize crowns and dental materials using a microtomography system and an intraoral scanner. The students will learn to efficiently communicate with dentists and medical doctors. Finally scientific and commercial activities will be presented related to current challenges in dental research. |
