The UWA Dental School is delighted to hold its Annual Research Day and invites you to attend.

The Executive Dean of the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, Professor Jon Watson, will open the day at 8.15am, followed by research presentations from our final year dental students. After lunch, UWA Dental School’s new Dean and Head of School, Professor Hien Ngo, will deliver a presentation titled “Translational Research Pathway in the Australian Dental Settings” in which he will outline his experiences in translating research discoveries into the clinic.

Professor Ngo has extensive experience in private practice, research and education. As an educator, Professor Ngo has published and lectured extensively on dental materials, minimal intervention dentistry and clinical cariology and presented at conferences internationally. In research, he is active in the areas of cariology and dental materials. His current focus revolves around the clinical management of caries, especially in the elderly and medically compromised, the interactions between glass-ionomers and the oral environment, and silver diamine fluoride. He has been a technical consultant to several dental organisations and was co-inventor of several dental products.
