Bioscaffold to regenerate bone for Dental Implants

Dr Fan had led a team in the research and development of a scaffold to guide bone regeneration in reconstructive surgery and had together with an industry partner working with the NUS developed the world’s first rigid dental bioscaffold which can be used to support alveolar socket after dental extraction for ridge preservation and bone regeneration for patients planning to have dental implants.

This project was funded by the Prime Minister’s Office The Enterprise Challenge and had won the 2005 Most Enterprising Award and Innovator Award. The research has led to a few international papers published and won an international dental exhibition poster award.
