Richard Price

Richard Price is a Professor at Dalhousie University, affiliated with both the School of Biomedical Engineering and the Department of Dental Clinical Sciences. His research focuses on dental biomaterials, particularly resin composite longevity, light curing technology, and clinical applications of polymerization methods. He holds advanced degrees including a PhD and is a Fellow of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada.

Key research projects include evaluating light curing units' performance, assessing resin composite properties under varying conditions, and investigating the 'blue-light hazard' from dental equipment. His lab has developed methodologies for standardizing curing light outputs and optimizing restoration techniques.

Publications emphasize material science advancements in dentistry, including studies on curing light efficacy, composite polymerization kinetics, and clinical applications of new materials. His work bridges biomedical engineering principles with practical dental practice, contributing to improved restorative techniques and equipment standards.

Dr. Price collaborates widely, publishing in journals like Operative Dentistry and Journal of the American Dental Association. He maintains a dedicated website (http://rprice.ca/) detailing curing light evaluations and research findings.
