Overview
Background
Dr. Ove A. Peters joined the University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia, in 2020 after faculty positions in Heidelberg, Germany and Zurich, Switzerland, as well as at the University of California, San Francisco. Most recently, he was the founding director of the postgraduate endodontic program at the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco, a professor with tenure and the Chair of the Department of Endodontics at that school.
Dr. Peters has wide-ranging clinical and research expertise and has published more than 200 manuscripts related to endodontic technology and biology. He has authored two books and contributed to several leading textbooks in dentistry; he also is an associate editor for the International Endodontic Journal as well as the Australian Endodontic Journal, an academic editor for PLOS One and serves on the review panel of multiple other journals. Among others awards, Dr Peters has received the Hans Genet Award of the European Society of Endodontology and more recently the Louis I. Grossman Award of the American Association of Endodontists. He is a Diplomate of the ABE, a member of OKU and a Fellow of the International and American Colleges of Dentistry.

Design and Functional Evaluation of Endodontic Instruments
Using custom-made devices and techniques we are working to understand the effects of root canal preparation. For example, micro computed-tomography has been employed to study canal shapes before and after canal preparation with conventional and novel instruments. Other techniques used in the past include microbial sampling as well as scanning and light microscopy.
-
Clinical Efficacy of Endodontic Instruments
We are interested in clinical outcomes of root canal treatment and therefore are working to establish which clinical usage parameters will be more likely to drive clinical success. Towards this end, a torque test rig was developed and successfully used in a number of projects. Small devices allow the study of nickel-titanium instruments under controlled conditions simulating clinical practice.

Immunomodulatory Regulation of Stem-cell Based Pulpal Repair
A main line of interest in the last years has been the study of the effect of a class of lipid mediator, i.e. lipoxins, in the reprogramming of a prevailing repair pathways to a functional regeneration. We showed that the lipoxin receptor is constitutively expressed and that the LXA4-ALX/FPR2 axis is functionally active in Stem Cells of the Apical Papilla (SCAP).
