Research leading to the development of newer dental implant materials as well as understanding the cellular and acellular healing mechanisms between implant surface and surrounding hard and soft tissues have been in progress for over six decades. Read more
PhD Research Projects are advertised opportunities to examine a pre-defined topic or answer a stated research question. Some projects may also provide scope for you to propose your own ideas and approaches.
This project does not have funding attached. You will need to have your own means of paying fees and living costs and / or seek separate funding from student finance, charities or trusts.
Motivated by an ever-growing demand for patient customisation, the overall aim of this project is to investigate the potential of 3D printing for the fabrication of custom-built medical implants. More specifically, we will target a titanium-based alloy (Ti-alloy), which is already widely employed as an implant material in its more traditional forged form. Read more
