PhD project The research focuses on improving the treatment of traumatized teeth in young patients by developing modern, evidence-based methods. The goal is to enhance the tooth's chances of long-term survival and optimize patient care.
My primary research area focuses on traumatized teeth, with an emphasis on treatment and prognosis. The work involves enhancing the understanding of how various types of dental trauma affect the long-term survival of teeth and developing evidence-based treatment methods to optimize patient care. My research interests also include the impact of traumatic injuries on young patients and their need for long-term follow-up. By combining clinical experience and research, I aim to contribute to the development of improved treatment protocols to enhance the prognosis for traumatized teeth.
The purpose of this research program is to investigate whether endodontic regeneration can become an effective treatment method recommended as the first-line choice for treating young patients with traumatized teeth, where the tooth's nerve has died, and root development is incomplete.
The research also examines whether various antibacterial agents used in root canal treatment are equally effective in eliminating bacteria during regenerative treatment. The goal is to identify the best possible treatment for children with traumatized teeth.
Children with traumatized teeth and incomplete root formation are included in the studies. During treatment, samples are taken from the root canal to analyze the composition of the infection and the efficacy of the antibacterial agents used. After completing the treatment, patients are followed up regularly to evaluate different treatment protocols concerning tooth survival.
This project is conducted in collaboration with Karolinska Institutet and Folktandvården Stockholm.
