The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

A Study Of Various Bone Scaffolds In A Maxillary Sinus Model
Funder

Funding Amount
$61,711.00
Summary
This project investigates using animal derived and artificial bone in regions of the mouth that are deficient and not suitable for replacing missing teeth using dental implants. Traditional techniques of bone replacement require the use of a patient's own bone. These procedures are associated with post-operative morbidity and this bone is present in limited quantity. The use of these bone replacements may overcome these challenges and eliminate the need for using patient's bone.
Novel Methods For Debridement Of Dental Implant Surfaces Contaminated By A Dental Biofilm

Funding Amount
$132,653.00
Summary
Dental implants are becoming more commonly used to replace missing teeth. This process occurs by the bone fusing to the implant. However over time, bone loss and inflammation around a dental implant can occur. This response can occur after some years and can lead to eventual loss of the implant. The major contributing factors are patient susceptibility and the formation of plaque on the surface of the implant. The aims of this PhD are to understand how plaque grows on the implant surface and how ....Dental implants are becoming more commonly used to replace missing teeth.

I am a practicing specialist Periodontist focused on growing bone around dental implants used to replace teeth. I will achieve this by comparing available materials to new materials and techniques. Dental implants are a very common treatment modality which results in improved outcomes compared to traditional methods of tooth replacement. This research will improve the outcome of dental implant placement and allow greater utilisation of this treatment modality.
Effect Of Cross-linking Cytokines To Natural And Synthetic Matrices On Post-implantation Fibrosis In Animal Models

Funding Amount
$77,154.00
Summary
My research will focus on the development and in vivo testing of cytokine cross-linked surgical implant materials in selected mouse and rat models. We hypothesise that Follistatin bound to heparin sulphate cross-linked natural and synthetic matrix implants will suppress the formation of Extra cellular matrix around the implant during wound healing in a mouse surgical model.
