Description

Motivation and application domain

Thesis will be focused over students keen to work on dental problems in a materials science Lab at DICCA Dept

General objectives and main activities

The Thesis will be developed in collaboration with Dr Matteo Schiaffino, PhD student on dental issues at DICCA Dept at Material Science Lab. This project is focused to study and develop palatal expanders in order to treaat and fix maxillofacial and dental issues able to greatly affect the patient life. The project will compare and analize the effects of different palatal expanders creating a useful set of experimental data to improve their structure and functionalities

Training Objectives (technical/analytical tools, experimental methodologies)

The student will be trained in the Lab activities and test that will be applied to analyze the functional and mechanical features of these palatal expanders

Place(s) where the thesis work will be carried out: Genova
