This award is a recognition to the three best research studies, presented by Honours BDS students, at the annual local Research Expo at Universidade Positivo. During the 2021 expo, my Honours student Laura Pardinho Muniz, presented the study titled “Effect of thickness and chemical composition on translucency of three dental zirconias used in monolithic aesthetic and resistant restorations fabricated by CAD/CAM” (Originally in Portuguese: Efeito da espessura e composição química na translucidez de três zircônias odontológicas para confecção de restaurações monolíticas estéticas e resistentes fabricadas por CAD/CAM). She as presenter and I as the supervisor of the study, have been awarded the third place in the professionals category. The study scope falls within my research expertise and report results of experiments conducted and/or supervised by me.
