Research
Dr Sylvain Mouraret’s research focuses on the cellular, molecular and biomechanical mechanisms that enable implants to integrate with bone and bone to regenerate. The guiding aim is to improve treatments in implantology and periodontology.
01 — Stanford University
From 2011 to 2012, Dr Mouraret was a postdoctoral researcher in Professor Jill A. Helms’ laboratory at Stanford University in California. He contributed to the development of a preclinical model of dental implant osseointegration and to research into the Wnt signalling pathway to enhance bone formation around implants and within bone grafts.
He has maintained ties with the team, and this research led to a series of international publications between 2014 and 2019.
02 — Research areas
01
Understanding how bone forms at the implant surface and how bone quality affects implant stability. This research has also explored the rescue of failing implants.
02
Rebuilding lost bone: vertical bone regeneration through periosteal elevation, the bone-forming capacity of autografts, and cell viability across different harvesting techniques.
03
Promoting bone healing through biological approaches, particularly by enhancing Wnt signalling, which acts on skeletal stem cells.

Today
Dr Mouraret continues to conduct research with teams in Nice. He also serves as a peer reviewer for several international journals, including the Journal of Clinical Periodontology and the Journal of Periodontal Research.
