Dental, Bone, Regeneration, Dentine, Teeth, Fluoride, Periodontal, Ex-vivo models, 3Rs, Growth factors, Pulp, Progenitor cells, Implants, Osseointegration.
Research Expertise relevant to tissue engineering & repair:
Regeneration of dentine, pulp & bone with particular interest in growth factor mediated tissue regeneration & growth factor / ECM interactions in mineralised tissues. The biology of progenitor cells in mineralising tissues & their potential in tissue regeneration and repair. The development of ex vivo models of mineralised tissue repair and their uses, especially within the remit of the 3Rs. The use of ex-vivo models to investigate disease processes and development of novel therapeutics in relation to inflammatory bone destruction, periodontal disease, purulent pulpal disease and osteomyelitis.
