Course info
The Plaque related disease group led by Professor Susan Higham comprises one of our major joint laboratory and clinical research areas. The Cariology and toothwear subgroup has a major interest in in vitro and in situ models to study coronal caries, root caries and erosion and additionally in developing optical techniques (in particular quantitative lightinduced fluorescence), which are capable of monitoring mineral loss and gain from tooth tissues in vivo. The group is also interested in plaque metabolism studies for further elucidation of the carious process. The relationship of materials, techniques, and processes to the initiation of caries and other causes of restorative failure is being investigated. The Oral Microbiology subgroup is interested in the pathogenesis of oral disease and its prevention. There are four principal areas of work: the rational use of antimicrobials, the pathogenesis of infective endocarditis, the improvement of cross infection control methods, and the effect of oral anaerobes on periodontal disease.
