Josette Camilleri

Josette Camilleri trained as a dentist at the University of Malta and completed her doctoral training as a Commonwealth scholar by a split site scholarship enabling her to work under the supervision of the late Professor Tom Pitt Ford, King’s College London. She is currently Professor in Endodontics and Applied Materials at the University of Birmingham. She is also founder and Director of Birmingham Materials Testing Services. 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. Her research work has been key to the discovery of the role of sodium hypochlorite interactions with bismuth oxide and its link to tooth discolouration. Josette has published over 170 papers in peer-reviewed international journals and her work is very well cited.
