About

Andrea Nicali is a pioneering researcher in digital dentistry and prosthetic rehabilitation, with a focus on advancing implant-supported denture fabrication. Her key research areas include 3D printing technologies, fiberglass reinforcement for dental prostheses, and innovative material science for implantology. Nicali’s major contribution is the development of a novel 3D printing method to reinforce implant-supported dentures using fiberglass as a structural material, addressing the longstanding lack of a gold standard in this field. Her pilot study, published in 2022, has already garnered 7 citations, demonstrating early recognition for its practical implications in improving denture durability and patient outcomes. By systematically evaluating material properties and fabrication techniques, Nicali provides clinicians and technicians with evidence-based guidance for selecting optimal prosthetic solutions. Her work bridges the gap between digital manufacturing and clinical application, offering a reproducible framework that enhances the longevity and functionality of implant prostheses. Nicali’s research is particularly notable for its translational impact, directly informing chairside and laboratory workflows. As a rising voice in restorative dentistry, she continues to explore how additive manufacturing can revolutionize personalized dental care, making her a researcher to watch in the evolving landscape of digital prosthodontics.
