- PhD Title: Post-Doc: Effects of Potential Conditioning Agents for Regenerative Endodontics
- Year of Completion: 2026
PhD Overview
Developing and improving dental materials is crucial to improving treatment procedures and patient outcomes. Endodontic treatment aims to remove pain and infection from inside the tooth, enabling teeth to be saved. This field of dentistry benefits greatly from new and improved materials. This project will explore whether alternative conditioning agents used in regenerative endodontics can improve outcomes and overcome limitations of current materials. The effectiveness of growth factor release, cell biocompatibility, and cell attachment and morphology will be investigated for their regenerative potential. If proven effective and safe, this approach could provide new materials for routine use in dentistry.
