About
Marco Giorgio Bevilacqua is a leading researcher in dental biomaterials and implant prosthodontics, with a focus on the biomechanical performance of restorative materials. His work centers on understanding how different materials absorb and transmit occlusal forces to dental implants, a critical factor for implant longevity and peri-implant bone health. Bevilacqua pioneered the use of advanced masticatory robots to simulate human chewing, enabling precise, in vitro measurement of force transmission through prosthetic crowns. His most cited study (96 citations) evaluated the shock absorption capacity of restorative materials, demonstrating that material choice significantly impacts the loads reaching simulated bone. His earlier work (81 citations) validated this robotic methodology, establishing a reproducible framework for testing dental materials under realistic dynamic conditions. Bevilacqua’s contributions have provided essential data for clinicians selecting materials to minimize stress on implants, and his robotic chewing simulator (36 citations) remains a benchmark for biomechanical testing. By bridging engineering and dentistry, he has advanced evidence-based prosthodontics, offering practical insights for improving implant success rates and patient outcomes.
