Associate Professor David Thomson is affiliated with the School of Dentistry at The University of Queensland, where he serves as Integrity Officer and Discipline Lead (Prosthodontics). His academic career spans over four decades, with a focus on dental biomaterials, dentin structure, and prosthodontic techniques. He holds a Master's degree in Dentistry from The University of Queensland (1976).
His research interests revolve around the structural and material properties of dentin, dental casting alloys, and biomaterials for clinical applications. Recent studies investigate age-related changes in dentin matrix architecture and the effects of anatomical location on resin adaptation. Earlier work explored non-precious alloys for porcelain veneers and dental implant salvage techniques.
Thomson’s publications reflect a strong interdisciplinary approach, combining materials science with clinical dentistry. His work has been featured in journals like Journal of Structural Biology, Archives of Oral Biology, and European Journal of Oral Sciences.
He contributes to the Centre for Orofacial Regeneration, Reconstruction and Rehabilitation (COR3), advancing translational research in dentistry. Though no formal awards are listed, his sustained academic output underscores his expertise in dental biomaterials and prosthodontics.
