Development of organoids from human and mouse teeth as novel and powerful tools to study tooth biology and pursue regenerative therapy Hasselt University
Tooth loss is an important health problem worldwide. Replacing lost or missing teeth with a biological tooth, preferably generated from the patient, would be highly superior to the current standard implantation of synthetic materials. Organoids, defined as self-forming three-dimensional in vitro reconstructions of an organ, provide a powerful means to pursue this goal. The tooth organoids obtained will be scrutinized to gain more insight into ...
Teeth with history of traumatic insult and the effect of an orthodontic tooth regulation: an explorative study KU Leuven
Orthodontic treatment after dental trauma.
Orthodontic tooth regulation is a type of treatment frequently offered to children, usually in the stages of development of the dentition and surrounding orofacial structures.
Teeth affected by trauma are most often situated in the esthetic zone. Visible defects and discolorations may have a lifelong impact on self-esteem, overall well-being and quality of life of the individual. ...
North South South Cooperation programme (NSSCP) between VUB and University of Nairobi (UON) Kenya and University of Western Cape (UWC) South Africa. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The VLIR-UOS IUC programme provides a dynamic framework for institutional cooperation, including the notion of learning and flexible responses to emerging demands and/or opportunities that are being identified during its implementation. From its inception in 1997, the notion has gained ground for VLIR-UOS to gradually invite the partners themselves to offer opportunities to develop joint initiatives. As a result an IUC North South South ...
North South South Cooperation Programme (NSSCP2011-2012): Pilot research data center - Moi University (Kenya) and Jimma University (Ethiopia) Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Jimma University Ethiopia, Moi University, Informatics and Applied Informatics
The North South South Cooperation Programme (NSS) aims to stimulate and support joint initiatives from Institutional University Cooperation (IUC) partner universities and to deepen South South cooperation between them and with the Flemish counterparts. NSS projects concern clearly defined activities of exchange (best practices, joint opportunities) and training in which all the project partners participate.

Use of stereolithographic model in tooth autotransplantation and periodontal ligament stem cells for pulp revascularization and reinnervation to increase the success rate for tooth replacement in children KU Leuven
Loss of permanent teeth is a particular challenge in children considering that alveolar bone growth is not yet complete and treatment approaches should adapt to both growth and developmental changes in the oral region to have the potential for long-term survival. This could be realized via autotransplantation, which is a biological approach for tooth replacement in young children. Key factor for its success is the preservation of the ...

2nd Fall Symposium 2022 Building Beyond Borders - Reflecting on the agency of architecture for regenerative and distributive solutions in the Global North and the Global South. Hasselt University
As a response to the extractive and exploitative character of the building sector, many universities and architectural practices in the Global North and the Global South have started to investigate other ways of designing and building that create a positive impact on both social and ecological level by searching for regenerative and distributive solutions. The Fall Symposium Building Beyond Borders is designed as a biennial event that ...
Video consumption among young people: a qualitative study in two municipalities in the North and South of Brazil KU Leuven
Nilda Aparecida Jacks, Bieke Zaman
In face of the accelerated process of TV digitalization that has been taking shape over recent years in several parts of the world and in the current scenario of media convergence, this doctoral dissertation aims to characterize the TV consumption practices based on a qualitative study with young people (between 15 and 24 years old) who live in the remote areas of two strategic regions of the Brazilian territory, the State of Pará and the ...
