About
Dr. Egwin J C Yeo is a dental researcher whose work focuses on the clinical performance and material science of restorative dentistry, particularly resin-modified glass ionomer cements (RMGICs). His major contributions center on understanding how clinical handling techniques directly affect the integrity of these restorations. In his most cited study (2003, 8 citations), Dr. Yeo systematically investigated how different finishing and polishing protocols impact microleakage—a critical factor in restoration longevity and prevention of secondary caries. He further expanded this line of inquiry by examining the effect of instrumentation time on the sealing ability of RMGICs (2003, 6 citations), providing evidence-based guidelines for clinicians on optimal manipulation during placement. By using standardized Class V cavity preparations on extracted teeth, his work offers practical, reproducible insights that bridge the gap between material properties and chairside technique. Though his publication record is focused, Dr. Yeo’s research has been foundational in establishing best practices for RMGIC application, directly influencing how dentists approach finishing and timing to enhance restoration success.
