Research interests:
Caries research –My main interest is to combine basic science and clinical research. Using a novel micro-CT scanner developed in this centre to quantify the mineral concentration of biological hard tissues, I study the rate of mineral growth and boundary between carious and sound dentine. On prevention, I investigate the effect of a statherin derivative peptide on de- and re-mineralisation of enamel and dentine. On clinical research, I am a collaborator and a centre lead on a NIHR funded clinical trial to investigate a new biological approach in managing caries in primary teeth.
Material Research – In collaboration with the Material Department in Queen Mary, we are developing a novel bioactive nano-hydroxyapatite/polyurethane based composite as an endodotic obturating material. We also investigate the stress pattern of different post system in permanent teeth.
Dental Traumatology – I manage a database of patients with dental trauma. My research topics in this field include the societal cost in treating traumatised incisors, relationship between problem behaviour and trauma, and clinical management of traumatised teeth.
