Research Interests
I am a clinical academic in Paediatric Dentistry and my main research interests involve dental erosion in young people and endodontic treatment in children. Dental erosion, a type of tooth wear, is a condition which appears to be increasing in the younger population. I am involved in prevalence studies of erosion, whether fluoridated water impacts upon a populations experience of the condition, and whether the use of an index for measuring erosion can be used to initiate an appropriate care pathway for an individual. I am also interested in laboratory based investigation of erosion looking at the synegistic effects of different types of tooth wear and the effects of erosion upon tooth tissue at the nanoscale.
My PhD thesis investigated pulp therapy in the primary dentition at a time when major changes have occurred within clinical treatment guidelines. I take part in the UK and International debate on changing treatment modalities and have co-authored texts and clincial guidelines concerning this.
Other Expertise
I have clinical expertise in providing dental care for children and I am active in engaging with junior hospital staff via supervision of research projects involving dental trauma, the medically compromised child and hypodontia. I am a revalidated NHS Clinical Trainer and Educational Supervisor (for higher specialist trainees).
Current Work
My current work centres around my main research theme of dental erosion involving: gathering data on global prevalence rates, the effect of water fluoridation, and nanoscale laboratory studies. I have also studied the development of a partial index for dental erosion to be used by primary care practitioners.
Future Research
Future work may include continuation of the laboratory based studies concentrating particularly upon monitoring techniques which could be used in a clinical environment.
Primary care based studies may be developed to train primary care practitioners in the use of a screening index for tooth wear.
Research Roles
Fellow of the Graduate School, supervising PhD and MPhil projects and previous Regional Research Student Advisor for Dental Sciences.
Postgraduate Supervision
I have previously successfully supervised several Phd, MSc B Med Sci and MRes students.
I am presently supervising 3 PhDs.
External examiner for higher research degrees.
