Causes and management of tooth erosion.

Michael qualified from Guy’s Hospital in 1990. He trained in the maxillofacial surgery unit for two years at Royal Surrey County
Hospital and then went on to teach in the undergraduate program at the University of Sydney, becoming a clinical associate. He
then enrolled in a three-year full-time master’s degree program at the University of Iowa (USA) in fixed, removable and implant
retained prosthodontics. His research into aesthetic ceramic materials won first place in the research prize from the American
College of Prosthodontists.
He was then awarded a scholarship at the University of Florida in a dedicated implant fellowship. In 2002, he returned to the UK
to run a specialist practice in Harley Street. Michael is also on the USA Embassy list of US trained dentists for recommendation
to US nationals in the UK.
Michael continues his interest in academics as well as the practical side of dentistry and is a Clinical Lecturer at the Eastman
Dental School (UCL). He has lectured nationally and internationally on implant dentistry and has recently been involved in research
with the Dental School at the University of Illinois (USA) and University of Birmingham (UK) on novel treatments for tooth decay.
He writes regular dental articles for the Daily Telegraph and has featured on the BBC and ITV for his expert dental opinion.

The learning objectives:

• Identify how pH is only one measure of how damaging a food/beverage can be. There are other factors that can also increase the potential for teeth to be affected.
• Extrinsic and intrinsic acid damage and cross over with caries as both can co-exist
• What does this mean to our oral microbiome and biofilm formation.
• Discuss what effects this has on different areas of the tooth surface and why some individuals are more susceptible.
• Apply this knowledge to help identify at risk individuals and educate them on alternative strategies to protect and prevent further tooth structure loss.
