Research

My main areas of interest are focus around the production of ceramic and composite restorations. In particular the optical properties of substructure and veneering ceramics in laminate restorations. I am also working on the effect of substructure design on complete restorations and novel materials for restoration substructures

Dental Technology Interests

I have a special interest in the study and teaching of occlusion. I am also interested in the production of complete denture prosthesis, particularly lingualised occlusion and associated techniques

Current Students

Omar Alsadon (Mphil): Stress distribution in laminate structures
