PhD thesis defense Benjamin Voumard

Congratulations to Benjamin Voumard on successfully defending his PhD thesis at the Musculoskeletal Biomechanics lab on 27 April 2023! Under the title of “Biomechanical Investigation of Dental Implant Stability and the Aging Femoral Neck” he investigated the relationship between bone density, primary stability of the bone-implant system, and the effect of aging on the biomechanical properties of the femoral neck under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Philippe Zysset.
