Dr Silva's PhD investigated early life causes of dental caries and enamel hypomineralisation. Her current research program includes MIH, early life interventions, and minimally invasive dentistry.

Dr Giselle D’Mello
Dr Giselle D’Mello has been a clinician at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne since 2012. She is actively involved in assessment and management of severe dental trauma in children.
Dr Dorothy Boyd
Dr Dorothy Boyd has been researching children’s procedural pain experiences in a study that compared the Hall technique and conventional technique for placing stainless steel crowns on primary molars. She found that measuring pain is a challenge, and that pain and distress become mingled - pain usually causes distress, but distress is not always accompanied by pain.
