Overview

Van P. Thompson is affiliated with King's College London in the United Kingdom and specializes in the field of Dentistry. Their research primarily focuses on dental materials and restorations, with significant investigation into related topics such as dental health and care utilization, dental erosion and treatment, dental research in the context of COVID-19, dental implant techniques and outcomes, temporomandibular joint disorders, and facial nerve paralysis treatment and research.

Their work spans several subfields, including orthodontics, oral surgery, periodontics, general dentistry, and complementary and manual therapy. This broad scope demonstrates a comprehensive engagement with clinical and material aspects of dental science.

The scientist has contributed to several recent papers, notable for their focus on the survival and performance of dental restorative materials. These include:

  • "Comparison of 16.9-year survival of pressed acid etched e.max lithium disilicate glass-ceramic complete and partial coverage restorations in posterior teeth: Performance and outcomes as a function of tooth position, age, sex, and thickness of ceramic material," 2020, Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry
  • "10.9-year survival of pressed acid etched monolithic e.max lithium disilicate glass-ceramic partial coverage restorations: Performance and outcomes as a function of tooth position, age, sex, and the type of partial coverage restoration (inlay or onlay)," 2020, Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry
  • "Novel speed sintered zirconia by microwave technology," 2021, Dental Materials
  • "Over 14-year survival of pressed e.max lithium disilicate glass-ceramic complete and partial coverage restorations in patients with severe wear: A prospective clinical study," 2024, Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry
  • "Minimally Invasive Fixed Prosthodontics: A Narrative Review," 2025, Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry

Van P. Thompson frequently publishes in the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, which accounts for the majority of their recent publications. Other publication venues include Dental Materials and the Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, among others such as the Journal of Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials and Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.

The scientist has collaborated extensively with several coauthors, including Kenneth A. Malament, Mariam Margvelashvili-Malament, Zuhair S. Natto, Dianne Rekow, and Wael Att. These collaborations contribute to a robust research network within their field.
