Christopher Mafrici

Christopher Mafrici serves as an Adjunct Lecturer in the School of Human Sciences at The University of Western Australia, based at the Perth campus (M311, 35 Stirling Highway). His contact details include phone 08 6488 3290 and emails 00102089@uwa.edu.au and christopher.mafrici@uwa.edu.au.

His research centers on thermal dynamics in restorative dentistry, specifically investigating how instrumentation variables like bur types and water coolant affect pulp temperature during tooth structure removal. This work bridges dental materials science, biomedical engineering, and clinical dentistry, with emphasis on preventing thermal damage to dental pulp through optimized procedural techniques.

Analysis of his sole recent publication (2024) reveals a concentrated research trajectory in dental thermodynamics, utilizing engineering methodologies to address clinical challenges. The study demonstrates statistically significant temperature reductions when using diamond burs with water coolant, highlighting practical applications for preserving pulp vitality.
