DEPUTY DEAN OF RESEARCH AND POSTGRADUATE
SCHOOL OF DENTAL SCIENCES
UNIVERSITI SAINS MALAYSIA
Introduction
Many studies have been done in PPSG on natural products
The success story
Assoc. Prof. Dr Azman Seeni
Mouth wash
Commercialized - he moved to IPPT
Laboratory
Prof Zainul Ahmad Rajion
Dental bib
Assoc. Prof. Dr Erry
Gamat
Mr Ezany Yusoff (RO)
Euphorbia tirucalli – antibacterial properties
Dr Haslina Taib/ Dr Zurairah
Madu Tualang - periodontitis
Research in PPSG
One research cluster – Craniofacial Science
Five research groups
Biomaterial
Craniofacial biology
Stem cell and tissue engineering
Craniofacial imaging
Oral health and oral diseases
Saliva secretion
Periodontitis
Natural product
Oral cancer
Oral health and oral disease
Research on natural product
Collaboration - MOU
FRIM – Forest Research Institute Malaysia
MARDI
FRIM
Initiate the collaboration 2013
Visit and present
Invite and have short seminar
Discussion on the possible activities
Sign the MOU – 2015
Second visit
Entourage – PPSG, PPSK and PPSP
Scientists are aware of research activities in PPSP and PPSK - limitless
Do not understand dental research – besides mouth wash and toothpaste
FRIM
There are other possibilities
Periodontitis
Wound healing
Graft
Guided bone regeneration
Guided tissue regeneration
Oral surgery
Bone healing
Prosthodontics / conservative dentistry
Pain management
Antibacterial
Examples:
Root Canal Treatment
Irrigation – used chemical for sterilisation
Medicament – antibacterial/ anti-inflammatory
FRIM
Current activities
A.P Dr Kannan – a project with FRIM – standardize the extraction process
Applying grants
1 short term grant: Puan Haswati – anesthetics property for tooth pain management
4 RUs
MARDI
Initiate – 2014
MOU – 2015
One program – end of this year
Stem cell and tissue engineering point of
view
Extract from gamat - fishing technique
Stem cell differentiation
Extract from plant: constituent
Bone regeneration
Scaffold
Coarse or fibrous material
Biomaterial
Silica composite
Prof Ismail Ab Rahman
Rice husk
Conclusion
Not many study has successfully reached product development stage
Focus: dental based products
Still at the initial stages
