    Wisdom from Crack Teeth Research

    Dr. Unni Krishnan Pillai MDS, MSc, FRACDS, FRACDS (Endo)


    Friday, 6th November 2026, 6PM

    Waterside 1 Room, Double Tree by Hilton Perth Waterfront, 1 Barrack Square, Perth 6000


    This lecture explores the key themes and areas of inquiry arising from Dr. Pillai’s PhD research. The research has addressed several important questions and, in doing so, has opened avenues for further investigation and provided a foundation for continued scholarly inquiry. 


    The four areas that will be explore are: 

    1. Diagnostic tools and techniques: How good are they?
    2. Fractography and finite element analysis
    3. Clinical research stories
    4. Managing the cracks per se; Should I drill them out?  

      Registration Closes On Thursday, 29th of October 2026
