Minimally-invasive treatment of periodontal intrabony defects

Applications are invited for a 3-year full-time PhD (Clinical) studentship to support an ambitious student at the Centre for Oral Immunobiology & Regenerative Medicine (COIRM), at Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, QMUL. Applicants must have full registration with the General Dental Council and previous experience in Periodontology.

The aim of the study on ‘Minimally-invasive treatment of periodontal intrabony defects’ is to perform a randomised controlled trial on the efficacy of minimally-invasive non-surgical treatment of periodontal intrabony defects. The study has clinical, radiographic, data imaging and laboratory components, some of which will form the basis for the PhD. The recruited PhD student will work as part of a multidisciplinary team of clinicians, scientists, nurses and support staff within the COIRM as with other team members from the larger organisation and will provide clinical research support for studies relating to periodontology. The recruited PhD student will be reporting to supervisors Dr Luigi Nibali, Senior Lecturer at COIRM, and Professor Donos, Head of the COIRM.
