Speaker Profile

Josette Camilleri BChD, MPhil, PhD, FDS RCPS (Glasg.), FICD, FADM, FIMMM, FHEA, FCGdent.

Josette Camilleri obtained her Bachelor in Dental Surgery and Master of Philosophy in Dental Surgery from the University of Malta. She completed her doctoral degree, supervised by the late Professor Tom Pitt Ford, at Guy’s Hospital, King’s College London. She has worked at the Department of Civil and Structural Engineering, Faculty for the Built Environment, University of Malta and at the Department of Restorative Dentistry, Faculty of Dental Surgery, University of Malta, Malta. She is currently the Head of Dentistry at the University of Birmingham and a Professor in Endodontics and Applied Materials. She is also founder and Director of Birmingham Materials Testing Services (BiMaTS), an operating division of University of Birmingham Enterprise. Her research interests include endodontic materials such as root-end filling materials and root canal sealers, with particular interest in mineral trioxide aggregate; Portland cement hydration and other cementitious materials used as biomaterials and also in the construction industry. 

Josette has published over 170 papers in peer-reviewed international journals and her work is cited over 15,000 times. Three of her publications on the chemistry of mineral trioxide aggregate have been placed in the top 50 most cited papers in International Endodontic Journal. In 2018, she has been awarded the Louis Grossman prize by the French Endodontic Society and is the first female recipient of this prestigious award. 
She is the Chief Specialty Editor for Dental Materials in Frontiers in Dental Medicine and a senior editorial board member of Scientific Reports (Nature). She is also an associate Editor for Ceramics and Journal of Functional Biomaterials and a reviewer and a member of the scientific panels of a number of international journals. Josette is also an international lecturer. She is currently the president of the Dental Materials Group of the International Society of Oral and Dental Research. She is an expert for British Standards Institution and International Standards Organization. She is the Editor of Endodontic Materials in Clinical Practice, published by Wiley and Mineral trioxide aggregate. From preparation to application and Bioceramic Materials in Clinical Endodontics published by Springer. ​​​

Learning content

​1. To overview the clinical guidelines for management of the deep caries and the dental pulp. The guidance by the European and the American societies will be discussed looking at specific differences with guidance on material use for best practice.

​

2. To discuss root canal obturation techniques and materials with an emphasis on their benefits and shortcomings and with the view of highlighting areas of development. Special emphasis will be given to hydraulic cements and specific clinical protocols needed for these materials. 

​

3. To look into the features of hydraulic cements specifically the clinical interactions and special clinical protocols needed when using the materials 

​
