Evaluation of tissue engineered decellularised biphasic constructs for periodontal regeneration [ 2015 - 2018 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Saso Ivanovski (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Mark Bartold

Brief description This project aims to regenerate the tissues lost as a result of gum disease. This will be done using scaffolds that replicate the complex structure of periodontal tissues.The scaffolds will be loaded with cells and allowed to mature before the cellular component is removed. The resultant construct is then inserted back into periodontal defects where it will be repopulated by host cells. This approach has the potential to be developed into an off-the-shelf clinical treatment.
