We explore how oral biomaterials can affect patients by examining the response of both human and bacterial cells to biomaterials and how this, subsequently, affects the host-microbe interactions.

Our research, based on in vitro models, provides important insights into the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the interactions between biomaterials and the complex environment of the oral cavity. The research outcomes make an excellent basis for recognising clinical challenges and for offering solutions.
