Kostas Ioannidis

Kostas Ioannidis is a dental researcher specializing in endodontics with a focus on root canal disinfection, biofilm analysis, and detection of disinfection by-products. His research employs advanced analytical techniques including Selected-Ion Flow-Tube Mass Spectrometry (SIFT-MS) to investigate chemical reactions during root canal treatments.

His research interests center on improving endodontic treatment outcomes through better understanding of disinfection processes. Key areas include antimicrobial effectiveness of dental materials, formation of toxic by-products during chemomechanical preparation, and development of novel antimicrobial systems like nano silver-graphene oxide composites.

Ioannidis's publication record shows a consistent focus on root canal disinfection chemistry, with particular attention to volatile compounds and biofilm interactions. His work bridges dental clinical practice with analytical chemistry to address challenges in endodontic infection control.

As a PhD graduate (2020) with ongoing research activity including a 2025 publication, Ioannidis demonstrates continued contribution to dental materials science and endodontic research methodology.
