Biography
Professor Bartlett leads Prosthodontics at King's which is the largest department for this specialty in Europe, covering over 150 undergraduates and 30 postgraduates with 10 consultants and 20 part time staff. The discipline provides over 1000 dentures, 1500 crowns and over £4M in implant related restorations. Professor Bartlett is an internationally respected specialist in Prosthodontics and regularly gives lectures on tooth wear at international meetings.
Professor Bartlett has published over 140 research publications, written 3 books, numerous chapters and is internationally known for his research on erosive tooth wear. He has about £3M in grant funding, mainly from industry. He is founder of a charity that provides information and support for erosive tooth wear to patients, the public and dental care professionals (www.erosivetoothwear.com).
He was awarded the distinguished scientist award in Prosthodontics for 2017 and is a member of the Academy of Prosthodontics.

Research

Erosive Tooth Wear
Our world leading team researches the detection, diagnosis, measurement, prevention and treatment of erosive tooth wear.

Centre for Oral, Clinical & Translational Sciences
From toothwear to oral pathology, from facial reconstruction to oral surgery, there's one thing that all our research shares: an underlying desire to make a difference to patients and bring benefits to society. We’re particularly strong in prosthodontics and endodontics research, and our work in this field feeds into our postgraduate programmes.
