Dr. Betul Aycan Uysal has been serving as an Associate Professor in the field of Endodontics.Research Assistant, Marmara University, Istanbul
July 8, 2014 – July 12, 2017
As a research assistant in the Department of Endodontics, Dr. Uysal was actively involved in scientific studies related to dental pulp biology, endodontic materials, and minimally invasive treatment approaches.
Research Interests:
Her research primarily focuses on endodontics, with particular interests in root canal treatments, the efficacy of various chelation solutions, and the properties of different root canal sealers. For instance, in a 2021 study, she investigated the effect of different chelation solutions on the penetration of resin-based and bioceramic sealers.Additionally, Dr. Uysal has explored topics such as the evaluation of root canal filling techniques in severely curved canals and the attitudes of cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons toward managing endodontic infections in patients with cardiovascular diseases.Her supervision of theses in 2022 further reflects her interest in the biological and mechanical properties of dentin, as well as the differentiation and viability of dental pulp stem cells.
