Research Interest

Regeneration in Periodontology and Implant Dentistry, especially: bone grafts, membranes, biologic mediators of the regeneration (mainly: growth factors, platelet rich plasma), titanium granules.

Diabetes Mellitus

Animal studies (wistar rats, rabbits), especially animal studies on experimental periodontitis, experimental diabetes mellitus, regenerative materials

Histometric studies

Biochemical studies in Periodontology and Implant Dentistry, especially serum levels of adiponectin, leptin, IL-6, IL-18, TNF-α, RANTES, MCP-1, GLP-1, ICAM-1, osteocalcin, BALP, CTX,PYD and DPD.
