Trish Wright

Dr Trish Wright is an Honorary Fellow at the School of Dentistry, The University of Queensland, with a focus on endodontics and biomaterials research. Her work bridges clinical practice and laboratory studies, emphasizing chelating agents, root canal therapy, and antimicrobial strategies. She holds a PhD in Continuous Chelation in Endodontics with a Focus on the Novel Chelator Clodronate (2020).

Research Highlights:

• Development of novel chelating gels for root canal preparation
• Evaluation of clodronate's role in continuous chelation
• Assessment of biofilm dynamics in oral environments
• Optimization of antimicrobial endodontic irrigants

Recent Work Trends: Recent publications (2020–2025) focus on material stability under clinical conditions, clinician adoption of chelating agents, and synergistic effects of irrigation solutions. Her 2025 study on clodronate gels represents cutting-edge advancements in endodontic materials.

Awards & Recognition: No specific awards mentioned in the provided materials.

Grants & Advising: No grant details or advisee records listed. Collaborates with international researchers (e.g., Ove Peters, Laurence Walsh) on biomaterials and endodontic protocols.

Labs & Affiliations: Associated with the Centre for Orofacial Regeneration, Reconstruction and Rehabilitation (COR3) and contributes to clinical research units within the School of Dentistry.
