As part of our continuous commitment to academic excellence, scientific research, and international collaboration, the Faculty of Dentistry, Badr University in Cairo (BUC), held an online research protocol presentation and scientific discussion for our postgraduate Master’s program in Prosthodontics.
We are pleased to highlight the research protocol presented by Dr. Maram Mohamed Elwakil, focusing on the fracture strength of 3D-printed ceramic-reinforced resin crowns fabricated using dental and non-dental 3D printing systems.
The proposed research explores an important area of contemporary digital dentistry, investigating the influence of different printing technologies and post-curing protocols on the mechanical performance of definitive dental restorations.
The scientific discussion was conducted under the supervision of:
🔹 Prof. Dr. Tamer A. Hamza
Dean, Faculty of Dentistry, Badr University in Cairo.
🔹 Dr. Jean Chin Chun Peng
Department of Restorative Dentistry, University of Washington, USA.
🔹 Dr. Ayman Zidan
Lecturer of Prosthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Badr University in Cairo.
The meeting provided a valuable opportunity for scientific exchange, constructive discussion, and refinement of the proposed research methodology, reflecting the importance of international academic collaboration in postgraduate education.
At BUC Faculty of Dentistry, we believe that postgraduate education extends beyond acquiring clinical skills to developing critical thinking, research competence, and the ability to contribute meaningful scientific evidence to contemporary dental practice.
We congratulate Dr. Maram on her presentation and wish her continued success throughout her research journey.
