Examination of the evidence base for Tooth Autotransplantation

Sophy Barber

Keynote lecture - Saturday, May 21, 2022

About author:

Sophy completed undergraduate dental training at the University of Sheffield in 2008 and afterwards gained experience in General Dental Practice, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Paediatric and Special Care Dentistry in Derbyshire and Yorkshire. After this, Sophy entered Specialist Training in Orthodontics in Leeds and Wakefield, qualifying as a specialist in 2014. Throughout her training Sophy was part of the Leeds Tooth Autotransplantation team, providing clinical care and contributing to the senior management team.
Sophy successfully secured a prestigious NIHR Doctoral Research Fellowship in 2015, which supported her to complete a PhD at the University of Leeds. This work examined adolescent and parent preferences and decision-making for hypodontia using a combined qualitative and quantitative approach. Sophy was the University of Leeds Postgraduate Researcher of the Year in 2018 and has published a number of papers from this work, reflecting the quality of her PhD.
Sophy is currently an NIHR Clinical Lecturer at the University of Leeds and a Senior Registrar the Leeds Dental Institute and Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Her research interests are patient-centred research using mixed methods, decision-making and health services research. She is a supervisor on a number of Masters projects, a co-applicant on two active research grants and a member of the University of Leeds Dental Research Ethic Committee.
Sophy and a team of co-investigators (Nadine Houghton, Ewa Czochrowska, Pawel Plakwicz, Kate Kenny, Peter Day) have recently been awarded a European Orthodontic Society research grant to develop a minimum clinical data set for tooth autotransplantation to promote collection of standardised data. The wider ambition of this work is to support the synthesis of data across units providing Tooth Autotransplantation, to allow greater understanding of treatment protocols and outcomes.


Abstract of the lecture:

In this lecture, the current evidence base for tooth transplantation will be examined, including the reporting of population, intervention and outcomes. The importance of collecting unbiased data and including patient-reported experience and outcome measures will be discussed. Finally, the benefits and challenges of collecting agreed standardised data prospectively from all patients as an alternative to experimental studies will be outlined.
