After completing her Doctor <strong>of</strong> Clinical <strong>Dentistry</strong> thesis<br />

zirconia implants and overdentures for completely<br />

Oral Diagnostic and Surgical Sciences<br />
Senior Lecturer<br />
Eithne MacFadyen has been involved in developing two<br />
DClinDent research projects related to Special Needs<br />
<strong>Dentistry</strong>.<br />
Research and Collaboration<br />
��� ���� �� ��� ����� ������� ������� �� ���������� The<br />
first <strong>of</strong> the above studies relates to developing an outline<br />
for the establishment <strong>of</strong> a Special Needs <strong>Dentistry</strong> service<br />
for Malaysia, based on the New Zealand experience. This<br />
work is being carried out with support and input from<br />
the Ministry <strong>of</strong> Health in Malaysia and with one <strong>of</strong> their<br />
staff as the field investigator.<br />
The second study will focus on the oral health status<br />
<strong>of</strong> elderly individuals admitted to Dunedin Hospital for<br />
medical assessment. They wish to establish whether the<br />
widely reported poor oral status <strong>of</strong> rest home residents is<br />
already evident at this time or develops subsequently. This<br />
work is being carried out in collaboration with Pr<strong>of</strong>essor<br />
John Campbell and the staff <strong>of</strong> the Care <strong>of</strong> the Elderly<br />
service, <strong>Otago</strong> District Health Board.<br />
