Dr. Guazzato awarded first prize at Sydney University

Dr. Guazzato continues to contribute to progress in the dental field with his internationally acknowledged studies. In 2009, a research conference at the University of Sydney research recognised his contribution with first prize accolades.

Dr. Guazzato presented research questioning the thermal compatibility between porcelain and Zirconia ceramics. Zirconia ceramics and porcelains are used in dental crowns, bridges and also dental implant components. Dr. Guazzato’s study found that the long term success of dental ceramics rely on the design of the crown, bridge or implant and also by the way they are handled in the laboratory and in the clinic.

What does this mean to our patients? It means that at DentArtisans we are constantly thinking about the materials that we use in the mouth and how they affect you. We consider what we put into your mouth, how they are designed and handled to make sure that it is of the best quality possible in todays market.

If you’d like the nitty gritty details of the research, it would be our pleasure to send you the international scientific publications that Dr. Guazzato and his team have written. Alternatively, if you’d need a crown, bridge, implant for your teeth we can look after you. Feel free to email us at smile@dentartisans.com.au or call us on 9518 7832.
