Research Group
Overview of Group Research Activities
The Biomedical and Tissue Engineering Research Group aims to bridge the gap between basic science research and its clinical application in the field of bone induction (stimulation of bone formation) and dental biomaterials.
Members of this research group come from various disciplines and specialties, including dental materials science, orthodontics, paediatric dentistry, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and oral radiology. Many members of the group have earned an international reputation. The group is supported by up-to-date laboratory and operative equipment, as well as extensive human resources.
Our principal research focuses
-
Dental biomaterials: the science and engineering aspects
-
Bone related studies: Growth factors regulating osteogenesis and Chinese medicine
-
Clinical implications: Innovative jaw reconstruction with microvascular prefabricated flaps
-
Distraction osteogenesis of cranio-maxillofacial region, and Oral Cancer
-
Enamel and dentine: bondings, mineralisations and regenerations
-
Tissue engineering: stem cells, scaffolds
-
3-dimensional digital techniques: bioimaging, CAD/CAM, 3D printing, cephalometry and simulation
-
Nano: nanostructures and nanomaterials for dental applications e.g. implants
-
Medicine: Dental drugs and formulations
