Mineralised Tissue Group Symposium
Craniofacial development and disorders
Understanding the mechanism of craniofacial development, genetics and other mechanisms causing disorders disrupting the development of craniofacial structures, is key to developing regenerative therapies. This year’s MINTIG symposium will be focusing on the development of the craniofacial structures including regenerative mechanisms, genetic disorders, and developmental anomalies that affect mineralised tissue in the craniofacial region. With special interest in mechanisms and disorders affecting enamel, dentine, bone, and cementum.
The symposium is also open for craniofacial developmental research related to but not exclusive to signalling pathways, osseointegration, cleft palate and craniofacial anomalies (from orthodontics and/or pedodontics point of view) research.
