About
Dr. Jane W. S. Tan is a dental materials researcher whose work has advanced the understanding of resin-modified glass ionomer cements (RMGICs), a key class of restorative materials. Her major contributions focus on optimizing the clinical performance of these cements, particularly by investigating how finishing and polishing techniques influence microleakage—a critical factor in restoration longevity. In her most cited study (2003, 8 citations), Dr. Tan demonstrated that specific finishing and polishing protocols can significantly affect the seal of RMGIC restorations, providing evidence-based guidance for clinicians. She further explored the impact of instrumentation time on microleakage (2003, 6 citations), revealing that the timing of manipulation during placement directly affects the material's ability to prevent bacterial infiltration. By systematically evaluating these procedural variables, Dr. Tan’s work has helped bridge the gap between material science and clinical practice, offering practical insights that enhance the durability of dental restorations. Her research remains a valuable reference for students and practitioners seeking to improve outcomes in adhesive dentistry.
