Abstract Materials of all classes, including metals, glass, and crystalline ceramics, are created at the expense of energy. However, these materials are often exposed to hostile environments and are subjected to corrosion, which is a thermodynamically favorable process. Corrosion not only incurs substantial economic costs but also poses unpredictable safety risks. This is particularly concerning […]

Abstract Additive manufacturing, high-tech imaging and digital workflow enhance most engineering and scientific endeavors. Oral health care and clinical practice have benefited from such technology, assisting patients to better understand treatment options, expediting treatment procedures and offering non-invasive methods on follow-ups. This lecture will present advances in these areas in dentistry as an example of […]
