Читать книгу Applied Oral Physiology - Robin Wilding - Страница 8

Robin Wilding grew up in Zimbabwe and obtained bachelor and master’s degrees in Dentistry, with a diploma in Prosthodontics, from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa. He spent 7 years in private practice as a Prosthodontist in Cape Town before joining the staff of the University of Western Cape as Professor of Dental Prosthetics. An interest in oral biology led to the development of a separate department in that school, and he was eventually transferred to the position of Professor and Chairman of Oral Biology. He was awarded a PhD for his thesis on the factors which determine chewing efficiency. He completed a master's degree in Holistic Science at Schumacher College. He has a number of research publications in international journals which have attracted over 500 citations. He has lectured undergraduates, postgraduates, and practitioners in South Africa and the United Kingdom. Robin was registered in the United Kingdom as a Specialist Prosthodontist until his recent retirement. He was the course organizer for the Prosthetics course offered by the Bristol University Open Learning for Dentists.
