Lecturer Details: Dental Erosion and its Management

Lecturer nameProfessor Graham Chadwick
Lecturer profileGraduated from Newcastle in 1985 and was the first recipient of that school’s Tregarthen
Postgraduate Research Studentship. This enabled him to conduct research on dental
materials particularly upon the durability of potential alternatives to dental amalgam. This
formed the basis of his PhD that was completed in 1988. It also introduced him to the field
of 3 dimensional measurement, an interest that has endured, been developed and applied
to clinically measure dental erosion. Such work has been recognised by the joint award of
the Institute of Australian Surveyors R D Steele Prize, the British Society for Restorative
Dentistry Postgraduate Research Prize as well as the T C White Research Prize of the
Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow.

He has been in post at Dundee University since 1990 and, as well as carrying out his
clinical teaching, is also responsible for the teaching of dental materials science. His
current research covers both dental erosion and applied materials. He has both published
and presented widely in these fields. In addition, he is involved in both British (BSI) and
International Standards (ISO) work relating to dental materials.
