As a dentist and Ph.D., I engage research to enhance regeneration of dental tissue. My tasks include developing blended e-learning, educating future dentists, and testing newly formulated cement materials for applications such as caries control, endodontics, and prosthetics.
I teach in the fields of dental pathology, oral histology, and emergency care. My background includes extensive clinical experience within the dental profession, where I have worked as a dentist in a municipal setting.
I have over 30 years of experience researching tissue regeneration in the dental nerve and dental materials. I focus on innovation and application of dental cements in crowns, with emphasize on biocompatibility, mechanical strength, and clinical usability. The 'Protooth' cements are designed for pulp-dentin sealing in the crown and protection against dental nerve damage in teeth with caries. In recent years, there has been a focus on practical application of apatite forming cements for optimal crown cementation.
As a lecturer and course coordinator for Anatomy, I focus on blended eLearning, including the development of digital online resources, ebooks, and the development of AI for education.
I am also engaged with teaching in Tooth Development and Eruption, Tooth Development Disturbances, Resorptions, and Dental Pathologies.
Furthermore I coordinate a 'Theme Day on Emergency Treatment in Dental Practice'.
Consultant on R & D of dental cements
I serve as a VIP representative on the Institute Forum at IOOS and enjoy supervising students in bachelor’s and master’s projects. My research has focus on innovation and testing of dental cements in crowns, emphasizing biocompatibility, strength enhancement, and clinical use. These cements are designed for sealing caries and dental nerve damage, as well as for cementing crowns. In recent years, we have focus on practical application of apatite forming cements for optimal sealing of caries.
