The prize is awarded for the best original work in dental science completed in the last five years in the United Kingdom. Professor Watson is Director of Research and Head of the Biomaterials, Biomimetics & Biophotonics Research Group at King's College London Dental Institute. His winning entry, entitled ‘Towards better diagnosis, better caries removal and better restorations in Operative Dentistry’ gives insight into the recent research relating to Operative Dentistry that has evolved in his research group and laboratory.
The group and its activities in the last five years have established new methods for caries detection, new methods for selective caries removal and, developed adhesive techniques that can seal the caries affected dentine with minimal tissue removal and maximum tissue preservation.
