Al Quds University (Palestine)
Name of the research project:
Designing, construction and evaluation of a hollow fiber
based perfusion bioreactor for the expansion of dental
origin stem cells
Project Leader (Mentor): Dr. Elham Kateeb
Description of the project:
Chronic periodontitis is a multifactorial disease, it is mainly
develops through anti-inflammatory process induced by
the presence of a microbial biofilm. Dental plaque and
poor oral hygiene are considered as a significant etiologi-
cal factor. Also genetic predisposition plays important role
in the aetiology of periodontitis.
Body Mass Index (BMI) is used to measure the general
adiposity or total body fat. WC (Waist circumferences)
and WHR (Waist to Hip Ratio) are measures of abdominal
visceral adiposity. Abdominal visceral fat is associated with
a greater health risk than peripheral fat. The best evidence
suggests that measures of general and visceral adiposity
should be combined to increase risk prediction of obesity-
related diseases.
The project aims to investigate the relationship between
adiposity indicators including body mass index (BMI),
waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and
chronic periodontitis among a group of Palestinian
adults aged between 18 and 65 years. And to analyse
the relationship between diet intake and periodontal
disease.
These aims will be accomplished by asking participants
to complete a questionnaire in order to collect infor-
mation about their sociodemographic status, general
health, oral hygiene practice and lifestyle, undertak-
ing an anthropometric examination and periodontal
examination, and asking participants to complete a food
frequency questionnaire.
What will be the student’s involvement within the
research project?
Students will be trained to assisst in data collection of
the questionnaires, periodontal examination, data pro-
cessising and handling.

ment Loss measurement.
Students will get a better understanding of the nutritional
role on periodontal diseases.
Is there any special knowledge, skills of certain level of
studies required?
Students should have basic knowledge in clinical peri-
odontal examination.
Language(s) of use: English, (Arabic in some activities
only
Minimum number of weeks to participate: 2 weeks
Hours of work per day: 4 hours
Available months: February - March
Students to be accepted: 2-4 students.
Special remarks:
This research project is important because there is a
scarce of oral epidemiologic data in Palestine, especially
data about periodontal diseases. To the best of our knowl-
edge, there is no single study discussed prevalence or risk
factors of periodontal disease among Palestinians. Both
Obesity and periodontal disease are highly prevalent in
Middle East countries, therefore studying this relation-
ship among Palestinians is relevant and valuable.

Al Quds University (Palestine)
Faculty of Dentistry
Name of the research project:
Innovative Oral Health Promotion and Early Disease Pre-
vention Delivery Program at Ministry of Health Maternal
and Child Health Care Centers, East Jerusalem / Occupied
Palestinian Territories
Description of the project:
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a com-
bination of pre- and post-natal preventive and behavioral
interventions is effective in preventing early childhood car-
ies in young children with problematic access to care.
Project description: The study seeks to determine whether
the implementation of a culturally-appropriate early child-
hood caries intervention reduces dental disease burden
among young children. This project targets expectant
mothers and their newborns, over a three-year intervention
period which coincides with the vaccination program that
offered by the MCHC centers in MOH public health clinics.
This 3- year study promotes and offers good dental care dur-
ing pregnancy and uses Motivational Interviewing (MI) and
Anticipatory Guidance (AG) to counsel mothers on caring for
their children's teeth. This project will apply fluoride varnish
on the mothers’ babies' teeth twice per year for 3 years. At
the same time, mothers will receive MI and AG in an effort
to address the dietary and oral health concerns of their
children. The goal of the study is to intervene early enough
in the child's life to prevent the onset of early childhood
caries, or at least, reduce the rates of the disease so that
fewer young children require complex dental treatment
under general anesthesia.
What will be the student’s involvement within the research
project?
Participants will be trained and caliberated to do the
following:
1. Screening and data collection
2. Oral Health Motivation and Education using anticipatory
guidance and motivational intervewing techniques
3. Fluoride Varnish application

4. Data handeling and processing.
5. Writing abstracts and reports
What practical skills and knowledge would the student
acquire during the research project?
Students will be trained on new techinques in Oral Health
promotion such as motavational intrerviweing(MI) and
anticipatory guidance (AG). In addition, they will get the
chance to apply fluoride varnish in unconventional settings
such as public health clinics. If students are intrested in
research design and data analysis, some training will be
provided to them in basic and advanced levels.
Is there any special knowledge, skills of certain level of
studies required?
Students need to have at least one year clinical training,
and already know the basics of prevention and community
dentistry. Arabic langauge is needed for MI, AG and data
collection; however, fluoride application, screening, data
handeling and processing do not need this skill.

Name of the research project:
Cultivation of human dental pulp stem cells in media contain-
ing human blood plasma
Project Leader (Mentor): Tomas Soukup, M.D., Ph.D. Jakub
Suchanek M.D., Ph.D.
Description of the project:
Dental pulp represents rich and accessible source of stem cells,
which can be utilized anytime during the life of the patient.
Dental pulp stem cells (DPSC) cultured in vitro are greatly influ-
enced by the composition of the cultivation medium. In previ-
ous years we were able to reduce the amount of supplements
of animal origin (especially fetal calf serum) in culture medium
from the usual 20% to 2% and supplement culture medium
with recombinant growth factors. This resulted in a change of
basic biological and phenotypic properties of cultured DPSC.
We expect (and our unpublished results confirmed this) that
the addition of human plasma to the culture medium has not
only beneficial effects on basic biological properties, higher
proliferative potential and stability but also effects changes in
the phenotypic profile of DPSC. Our activities lead to achieve
higher yields during cultivation process and to prepare pro-
tocols for future clinical application of stem cells in clinical
dental practice and in the other clinical fields.
The project is in full compliance with research and develop-
ment strategy of the Czech Ministry of Health, presenting
the thesis linking the basic and applied research. The proj-
ect will continue to develop unique methods and interna-
tional cooperation.
The proposed project is focused on modifying stem cell cul-
ture conditions of human dental pulp in order to sustain the
isolated cell lines characteristics of stem cells and culture
to achieve higher yields. Properties of cultured cells will be
characterized over time in correlation with cells grown in
medium containing calf (animal) serum. The examination
will focus on the growth characteristics of cells, xCEL-
Ligence growth profiles, examination of telomere length,
immunophenotyping, and differentiation potential of stem
15 |
cells.
Optimization of culture conditions will not only maintain long-
term desirable properties of stem cells as their self-renewal and
clonogenicity, but also prevent their premature senescence and
damage. In addition, using human plasma will facilitate the trans-
fer of experimental findings to the possible therapeutic applica-
tions of stem cells.
What will be the student’s involvement within the research
project?
The students will get a chance to participate, observe and also
assist in research and the experiments.
What practical skills and knowledge would the student acquire
during the research project?
The students will acquaint with basic procedures and techniques
of experimental histology, odontology, molecular biology, tissue
engineering, stem cell culture and get the unique chance to look
to the possible future of their jobs.
Is there any special knowledge, skills of certain level of studies
required?
Advanced knowledge in cell culture, tissue engineering and
laboratory methods are required.

Institute of Animal Physiol-ogy and GeneticsAcademy of Sciences of the Czech RepublicName of the research project:
Odontogenesis in model mammalian organisms
Project Leader (Mentor): Assoc. Prof. Marcela Buchtová,
Ph.D.
Description of the project:
Tooth replacement in vertebrates is initiated from a struc-
ture at the end of the dental lamina, known as the suc-
cessional dental lamina (SDL). The timing of SDL initiation
is species-specific and generally arises earlier in animals
with a simpler tooth shape, such as in pythons, in contrast
to the complex teeth of mammals. Lifetime and morphol-
ogy of the dental lamina differ among species depending
on how many generations of teeth are initiated during
the animal’s life. For example, in diphyodont species such
as humans, ferrets and pigs, the dental lamina starts to
disintegrate when the first generation reaches the late bell
stage, stopping further potential for replacement. In con-
trast in snakes and lizards with continuous tooth replace-
ment, the lamina remains as a permanent structure linking
the forming teeth together. The dental lamina has been
proposed to contain a population of stem cells, which pro-
vide a source of cells for the generation of future teeth.
Key questions we aim to address are: What signals lead
to the breakdown of the dental lamina in mammals?
What signals control formation of the dental stem cell
niche? What prevents tooth replacement in monophy-
odont (one tooth generation) mammals?
What will be the student’s involvement within the
research project?
The students will get a chance to participate, observe
and also assist in research and the experiments.
What practical skills and knowledge would the student
acquire during the research project?
The students will learn with basic procedures and
techniques of experimental embryology and molecular
biology.
