Tjalling Algera

Tjalling Algera is a Researcher at the Department of Orthodontics, Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam (ACTA). His work focuses on dental materials science, bond strength analysis, and finite element methods applied to orthodontic systems. He has conducted extensive research on bracket-cement-enamel interactions, lingual retainers, and material durability under clinical conditions.

Research interests include adhesive agents, in vitro testing methodologies, and mechanical analysis of dental systems. His studies frequently explore bond strength parameters, surface effects on adhesion, and fatigue resistance of orthodontic components.

Algera's publications (2008-2012) consistently address bracket bonding mechanics, material characterization, and clinical validation through finite element modeling. No scientific awards are listed, though his work contributes significantly to evidence-based orthodontic practices.

No advising or grant information is available in the provided texts. His research is conducted within the Orthodontics department at ACTA with a focus on translational material science applications.
