Fang Hua

Fang Hua serves as an Honorary Research Fellow in the Division of Dentistry at the University of Manchester's Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health. With qualifications including BDS, MSc, and PhD, Dr. Hua specializes in evidence-based dental research methodologies and clinical applications.

Education:

• BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery)
• MSc
• PhD

Dr. Hua's research centers on orthodontics, meta-analyses, and patient-reported outcomes in dentistry. Key investigations include quantum dot applications in dental materials, dental restoration performance, and dentofacial morphology relationships with obstructive sleep apnea. Their work directly supports UN Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being) through evidence-based clinical practice improvements.

Recent publications demonstrate a strong emphasis on systematic reviews and meta-analyses, integrating nanotechnology with clinical dentistry to address antibacterial properties, material durability, and patient-centered outcomes. The research consistently bridges laboratory innovation with practical clinical implementation.

No scientific awards are documented in available sources.

Dr. Hua's doctoral thesis (2017) examined dental research dissemination issues including reporting quality and publication bias. While no current advisees or grants are specified, their collaborative network spans international institutions as evidenced by multi-country research outputs. The thesis was supervised by Professors Helen Worthington, Tim Walsh, and Anne-Marie Glenny at the University of Manchester.

Active participation in dental research consortia is evident through high-impact meta-analyses, though specific laboratory affiliations remain unreported in current documentation.
