Research Profile

Biography

 

Research Interests

The longevity of resin composite (RC) tooth restorative materials requires, among other factors, the attainment of optimum mechanical properties on curing. Such properties are dependent on adequate polymerisation which ensures that the residual monomer content in the restoration is minimised. Inadequate polymerisation has been associated with loss of biocompatibility, colour shifts, loss of retention or breakage and excessive wear and softness.  Monomer conversion in light activated materials is governed by exposure to light of adequate intensity and of suitable spectral distribution. Over the last 5 years, the principal aims & objectives in research have been to quantify the effects of different visible light exposure (curing) techniques on the likely durability of commercial dental resin composite (RC) tooth restorative materials.
