Oral Health Statistical Reporting Guidelines: A webinar for editors, peer-reviewers and authors

A way to improve your research dissemination and reporting

This webinar, hosted by IADR and the Journal of Dental Research, coincides with the release of new oral health statistical reporting guidelines that will be published simultaneously in 6 journals in the field. The guidelines cover clinical trials and epidemiological studies and include items on designs that are common in oral health studies such as split-mouth studies and the effects of natural changes in the dentition. By using these guidelines and the associated checklist, authors , peer reviewers and editors will be able to identify and avoid common mistakes in reporting of statistics and other design issues in oral health research. The webinar brings together journal editors and authors of the new guidelines to explain the key aspects of the guidance and how they apply in different areas of oral health. There will be an opportunity to ask questions. Please join us to find out more!

Editor in Chief, Journal of Dental Research

After a BSc in Biochemistry from the University of Cambridge (1994) and a PhD in Microbiology at the University of Warwick (1998), I moved into the field of Oral Microbiology as a Post-Doctoral researcher in Prof. Howard Jenkinson's group at the Bristol Dental School. I spent 6 years at Bristol working on adhesion, colonisation and sensing mechanisms of oral streptococci before joining Dr Paul Kolenbrander's lab at the National Institute for Dental and Craniofacial Research in Bethesda, MD, USA on an NIH Post-Doctoral Fellowship. The focus of my research centred on cell-cell interactions in oral biofilms.

I joined Newcastle Dental School as Lecturer in Oral Microbiology in 2007 and became Senior Lecturer in 2014. My current research is still focussed on adhesion, colonisation and cell-cell interactions, primarily in oral biofilms. Our group employs techniques from molecular genetics to microbiome profiling to understand how oral biofilms form and to investigate the impact of different treatments. We also have a number of projects on health-related biofilms at sites outside the mouth, including prosthetic joint and middle ear infections. The overall goal of our research is to find new approaches to control biofilms and to translate these into products that can improve oral and general health.
