Doctoral School in Life and Health Science - PhD Program in Experimental Medicine and Therapy - CIR Dental School - University of Turin, Turin, Italy; Orthodontics and Gnatology - Masticatory Function - Department of Surgical Sciences - University of Turin, Turin, Italy.

It can also have a role in the planning of the surgical correction of craniomaxillofacial deformities.
