معرفی
Mostafa Ezeldeen is a Clinical Lecturer at the Faculty of Medicine, KU Leuven, and a Post-doctoral fellow at the OMFS-IMPATH research group. He specializes in pediatric dentistry and special dental care, practicing at UZ Leuven and in private practice. His research integrates clinical dentistry with advanced technologies like AI, 3D bioprinting, and biomaterials to develop regenerative therapies for dental tissue loss in children and adolescents.
Education:
- Bachelor of Dental Medicine and Surgery (2007), Mansoura University, Egypt
- Master in Dentistry, Summa cum laude, KU Leuven, Belgium
- Master of Oral Health Research (2010), KU Leuven
- Specialization in Paediatric Dentistry and Special Dental Care (2012), KU Leuven
- Postgraduate diploma in Advanced Medical Imaging (2013), KU Leuven
- PhD (2021), "Dental tissue regeneration in children: can we mimic nature?"
Research Interests:
His work is at the intersection of clinical dentistry, immune-modulation, and biomaterials engineering. Key areas include:
- AI-driven CBCT image analysis for tooth segmentation and treatment planning
- 3D bioprinting of dentoalveolar tissues
- Regenerative endodontics and pulp tissue engineering
- CBCT-guided tooth autotransplantation
- Immunomodulatory scaffolds for dental tissue regeneration
Scientific Awards:
- 1st place research award, International Association of Dental Traumatology (2014)
- Journal of Endodontics Award – Best Clinical Research Article (2016)
- Belgian Albert Joachim Award in Odontostomatology (2018)
