Research Projects

 

Improving the fatigue resistance of Nickel Titanium (NiTi) endodontic files by selectively coating the files with metal/ inorganic-fullerene (IF) nanoparticles. Since IF nanoparticles are known as a superior lubricant it is assumed that such a friction reducing coating would lower the incidence of file breakage during root canal treatment and would contribute to the clinical performance of NiTi files.The friction reduction of the IF-nanoparticles coated NiTi files lowered the stress applied onto the file during simulated treatment. This process might minimize file breakage during treatment and consequently prevent tooth loss. Moreover, the coating methods developed in this research can be easily applied to a vast repertoire of friction correlated medical appliances (i.e., cardiovascular stents, guide wires, orthopedic implants etc.), possibly improving their performance and lifetime.

 

The efficiency of a novel root end filling materials using micro-Computerized Tomography (micro-CT), demonstrating the compaction and durability of the filling materials and the retrograde cavity preparation in all planes.  Since micro-CT is a non-destructive procedure, it allows us to further investigate the specimens for bacterial leakage studies.

 

Prototype development of rotary Niti endodontic files.

Deciphering a rare human genetic dental disease of hereditary multiple idiopatic root resorption. Up to date, very few individual cases were reported, but there was no indication for familial inheritance. The family identified by me includes 10 siblings with at least 5 affected members (father and at least 4 siblings- additional siblings might develop the disease as well when their permanent dentition will erupt).
