  • Information
  • Members
  • Publications
  • Projects

Our research group is a multidisciplinary team composed of professors from the departments of dentistry and microbiology. Microbiologists contribute information on microbiological techniques, while dentists contribute their relevance and clinical application. The research we conduct therefore has direct clinical applications.

Research lines

  • Study of the antimicrobial activity of dental materials
  • Endodontic material properties

Keywords

Endodontic infection, biofilm, irrigating solutions, dental materials, sealant cements.
