Dentistry
Student Affairs Officer and Senior Lecturer
Andrew conducts clinical research involving dental
implantology treatment, and is involved in the prospective
evaluation of patients rehabilitated with implant-supported
mandibular and maxillary overdentures, as well as evaluations
of clinical outcomes (success rates), the hard- and softtissue
interface (peri-implant health) and different treatment
loading modalities.
Another aspect of his research involves educational
research. With Dr Vivienne Anderson, he is currently
evaluating the development of a research-informed
bridging programme for international students involved in
IMU-University of Otago partnered dental education.
