Fixed prosthodontics

The Center of Dental Medicine at the University of Zurich has a long-standing tradition of conducting clinical, preclinical, and in vitro research in fixed prosthodontics. We are strongly committed to advancing clinical procedures while upholding the highest quality standards. Our research aims to improve and simplify treatment approaches with a focus on minimally invasive solutions and patient-centered care.

To achieve these goals, we extensively incorporate digital technologies at various stages of the prosthetic workflow. In our research, we emphasize the use of both digital and conventional diagnostic tools, facilitating effective communication with patients and improving prosthetic case planning. Additionally, we explore the use of computer-assisted methods, including robotics, for the precise preparation of teeth.

We further investigate the efficiency of digital impressions, digital design (CAD) and employ both subtractive and additive (CAM) manufacturing technologies to fabricate dental restorations. Our research also focuses on developing minimally invasive treatment concepts, particularly for aesthetic improvements and the treatment of worn dentitions.

Our efforts include long-term patient follow-ups to ensure a comprehensive understanding of treatment outcomes and effectiveness. By combining modern technologies, research, and a patient-centered approach, we continuously strive to advance the field of fixed prosthodontics and improve the quality of dental care.
