One of my interests is facial trauma surgery having written a textbook on diagnosis and treatment of facial fractures for the non specialist which is standard reference in most Accident and Emergency Departments in the UK. I am one of the pioneers in the use of the Inion biodegradable plating system in the treatment of facial fractures. I have over 106 publications in peer reviewed journals on topics that include dental implants, temporomandibular joint disease, facial trauma, salivary gland pathology, dentoalveolar surgery, Medico-legal report writing, oral medicine and oral cancer as well as NHS organisation.
