About

Andrea Mantelli is a forward-thinking researcher in restorative dentistry and dental implantology, with a focused expertise in digital prosthetics and additive manufacturing. Her work addresses a critical gap in implant-supported denture fabrication, where no gold standard currently exists. Mantelli’s major contribution lies in pioneering novel 3D printing methods to reinforce fiberglass materials for implant prostheses, offering clinicians and technicians a more reliable, customizable solution. Her 2022 pilot study, which has garnered 7 citations, demonstrates the potential of this approach to improve mechanical strength and clinical outcomes, bridging the gap between material science and practical dentistry. By systematically evaluating the pros and cons of existing techniques, Mantelli provides evidence-based guidance for case-specific decision-making. Her research is particularly notable for its translational impact, directly influencing chairside and laboratory workflows. As the field moves toward digital precision, Mantelli’s work stands out for its innovation in combining 3D printing with fiberglass reinforcement, promising to enhance the durability and fit of implant-supported prostheses. Her contributions are paving the way for more standardized, efficient, and patient-specific solutions in modern implant dentistry.
