Academic Lead for Restorative Dentistry for BSc Therapy and BDS

Professor Barry Quinn plays a crucial role in shaping the vision and strategy for Restorative Dentistry at the University of Liverpool, School of Dentistry. Restorative Dentistry is approximately 70% of the practice for Dentists and even higher for Dental Therapists. With a forward-thinking approach, he oversees the integration of cutting-edge methodologies and technologies into the dental curriculum. One of his significant contributions is the introduction of haptically enabled virtual reality (VR) for simulation and surgical skills practice. This innovative teaching tool allows students to engage in realistic, immersive training scenarios, enhancing their dexterity and precision in restorative procedures. Professor Quinn's leadership ensures that the University of Liverpool remains at the forefront of dental education, producing highly skilled graduates proficient in the latest restorative techniques. His commitment to excellence and innovation fosters an environment where both students and faculty thrive, continually advancing the standards of dental practice.
