The Research Laboratory of Periodontal Tissue Engineering

In addition to the fundamental/preclinical research, the laboratory also investigates clinical-related research topics (at NTUH Department of Dentistry) summarized below,

Randomized Clinical Trial

  • Sloped dental implant placement on the deficient edentulous ridge (2018-)
  • Indocyanine green/diode lasers-based photothermal therapy on the sites refractory to traditional periodontal therapy (2018-2019)
  • LED light irradiation as an adjunctive treatment during the non-surgical periodontal therapy (2017-2018)

Retrospective/Observational Analysis

  • The anatomical characteristics of dentoalveolar structure from cone-beam CT imaging (2018-2019)
  • The association between the initial periodontal parameters and the outcome of the non-surgical periodontal therapy (2017-2018)
  • Salivary biomarkers reflecting periodontal status and predicting the outcome of the non-surgical periodontal therapy (2015-2017)

Systematic Review/Meta-Analysis

  • Treatment strategy for aggressive periodontitis
  • Strategy of periodontal regeneration in Asians
