| 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. |
