Danuta Mazurel

Danuta Mazurel serves as a Visiting Fellow at the Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam (ACTA) within the Department of Preventive Dentistry, focusing on the intersection of oral microbiology and clinical dentistry.

Her research centers on biofilm dynamics in oral diseases, with primary expertise in Periodontitis and Streptococcus mutans-mediated caries. Key investigation areas include microbial dysbiosis mechanisms, biofilm control strategies using hydrogen peroxide and natural compounds, and novel therapeutic approaches involving synbiotics and nitrate-reducing bacteria. Her work bridges in-vitro models with clinical applications, particularly examining chlorhexidine alternatives like curcumin and sugar alcohols for caries prevention.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals a consistent focus on evidence-based interventions: systematic reviews/meta-analyses dominate her methodology (40% of output), targeting high-impact clinical questions in periodontics and cariology. Her research demonstrates strong alignment with emerging trends in microbiome modulation and antimicrobial stewardship within dental practice.

Her collaborative network spans international institutions, with significant contributions to understanding Rothia aeria's therapeutic potential and Vermamoeba vermiformis eradication in dental waterlines. Current work indicates growing emphasis on translating microbial ecology insights into clinical protocols for biofilm-related oral diseases.
