Ove Peters

Professor Ove A. Peters is a Professor of Endodontics and Head of Clinical Dentistry & Discipline Lead in Endodontics at the University of Queensland's School of Dentistry. Previously, he held faculty positions at institutions in Germany, Switzerland, and the United States, including founding the postgraduate endodontic program at the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco. He is affiliated with the Centre for Orofacial Regeneration, Reconstruction and Rehabilitation (COR3).

Research Interests: Dr. Peters specializes in endodontic technology, root canal preparation techniques, biomaterials in endodontics, and regenerative approaches in dentistry. His work emphasizes clinical outcomes, material biocompatibility, and translational research in dental stem cell therapies. He has authored two books and contributed to leading textbooks, while also serving on editorial boards of journals like the International Endodontic Journal.

Awards: He has received the Hans Genet Award (European Society of Endodontology) and the Louis I. Grossman Award (American Association of Endodontists). He is a Fellow of the International and American Colleges of Dentistry.

Publications: His 230+ journal articles span topics like root canal biomechanics, material fatigue analysis, and clinical decision-making in endodontics. Recent work focuses on regenerative endodontics, antimicrobial materials, and finite element modeling of dental structures.

Teaching & Innovation: He has pioneered educational tools like 3D-printed models for endodontic training and distance learning courses using dental microscopes. His research also explores AI applications in dental imaging and teledentistry.
